Much like LGA, this is “humor” (or at least they claim it is) about the supposed benefits of Linux over Windows (what else?)

There’s not much to say about it, but some highlights include:

  • It sucks because there are communities and groups who help you if you face problems. I don’t like talking to humans. I love the computer sounds that make you feel talking to aliens.

Yeah, no human being has ever helped another one with Windows-related problems! I hate to have to be the one to break it to all those support guys who don’t realize they’re obsolete…

  • It sucks because it does not have any problem and is simple to use—how can a system without problem exist? A problem-less system is not reliable…there must be something fishy about it.

LinuxIsPerfect™

  • It sucks because everybody who uses it says: “I like it!” This is perhaps a borrowed sentence. Nobody is giving genuine review of it. How could be a system for fool-proof?

I think EverybodyLovesLinux™ needs to be a new trademark! But shhh, don’t tell Piestar, .net jerkface or Linux Hater…

“2. It sucks because there is no copyright infringement or any other limitation on the use. Anybody and everybody can contribute in its development. It is messy.”
True, that’s why the SFLC is basically a vapor organization, and Linksys was also never sued or anything.

“3. It sucks because nobody can claim the ownership on it—people just contribute and develop. Who is the authority on it and who is liable? I don’t like software that are uncertain about who is handling them.”
True, it’s not at all that the ownership is still held by the actual owner of the project, and thus he can also relicense it, as seen with MySQL <-> MySQL Enterprise, PHP <-> ZendServer or OpenOffice <-> StarOffice.

By the way, could somebody explain me 6.) about the upgrades? I fail to see how this is something positive… or is it that upgrades are so fun, because you never known what breaks next, and therefore it’s like these chocolate eggs with little surprise toys in them? You never know what’s in it until you tried it out? If so, where’s the chocolate?

It’s actually less like a Kinder Surprise and more like a Crunchy Frog …

6) is positive because with repositories you are always UP-TO-DATE!! How do you fail to see??

On WinBLOWS you have to update and upgrade every single piece of software you have installed, on Linux you are just a click away from ?b?l?o?w?i?n?g? ?u?p, errr, upgrading everything to the latest and greatest version(*).

On WinBLOWS you have to update and upgrade every single piece of software you have installed, on Linux you are just a click away from blowing up, errr, upgrading everything to the latest and greatest version(*).

(*) upgrading may often result in partial of complete breakage of the base system, with most or all of the userland coming after. FORGET THAT IT NEVER HAPPENED.

This is perfect that people are able to receive the mortgage loans and this opens up completely new opportunities.
