There are literally thousands of freetards out there building crap, reinventing the wheel, writing semi-unusable software, (usually written in LongPHPCodez) . Then a distribution vendor like Canonical comes along and cobbles all of these unintegrated parts together and releases the OS(POS?) . The result? of course it doesent work. But it’s not our fault ItsUpstreamsFault™
Example
gdmsetup is a tool which allows you to modify gdm, heres what it used to look like:
however gdm was rewritten from scratch entirely in LongPHPCodez . and heres the result
It’s been Gnomeilized and the all the features have evaporated.
Of course the freetards all chant ItsUpstreamsFault . What used to work, doesent work, if you dont want to believe (IWantToBelieve™) that FlawsAreFeatures then get ready to UseEsotericWorkarounds. Maybe fix it from the cli because the CLIMakesMeAllSmartAndStuff, but dont just UseDistroX because im sure a fix is JustAroundTheCorner but in the meantime YouDontNeedThat. You do need that? well then FixItYourself , hell, i actually quite like what upstream has sent down, it WorksForMe

Killer post!
This site needs to be turned into the anti-$la$hdot , we need a place to post articles which can be tagged (by readers) with TradeMarks(tm) from the repo. Freetardia is brimming with many more examples like this, with a site like that, and repo like this, Karmic's recent hilarious flop would have been icing on the cake.
Everytime i go to digg's linux/unix section or /r/linux/ on reddit, there are always loads of 'linux victims' who've been scarred by the peguin, try and share the truth, and get modded down! we need a place where they can be modded up.
im tired of seeing:
--+5 funny
--lol, balmer throws chair
--+5 insightful
-- the ARMageddon is coming linux will rule netbooks
then seeing:
-- -1 flamebait
-- how come no distros are following the linux standards base
-- -1 troll
-- users dont care about btrfs they just want flash to work
Im definitely hoping for something like that :)
p.s wishlist:
1. enable commenting on the blog http://tmrepository.com/blog/
2. enable preview when making new trademarks
3. enable preview in this very comment box
anyway off to linsux.org
That's uncanny, I'm already working on that feature. It'll be the "FUD Tracker".
"That's uncanny, I'm already working on that feature. It'll be the "FUD Tracker"."
Awesome, im ready and waiting.
DO WANT FUDTRACKER
You do realise that Linux FUD doesn't exist, don't you? oiaohm says so. Except when he's claiming that Linux FUD exists. In that case, Linux FUD is in the eye of the beholder (oiaohm). Except when it isn't, because Linux FUD is G(nu)D. Although that's not true either.
We really need FudTrax. Make it so.
Anti-Linux fud is just as nonexistent as the magical "LSB that fix es everything just wait six months" as asserted by Ohio Ham.
Both KDE and Gnome look very well integrated to me, as programs often adhere to standards. I often find my Linux desktops more integrated than my Windows ones, due to the apps using the same toolkit and the same guidelines.
My Windows desktop is a real mish-mash of applications compared to my KDE desktop.
I have some sudden urge to hump that first screenshot. You know what I mean?
I do like the concept of "Happy Gnome."
I wish the Linux Desktop would bring that back.
Oh, and how login screen management tools look in OS X and Windows, who will say? Nobody? That's what I thought.
There are *A LOT* of issues where this kind of changes decreasing options could be considered a bad thing but here you seriously missed the point. That complicated login screen manager as in the first example is really not necessary.
