When Is Global Laugh At Linux Day 2015?

[Tomas]

Anyone know? Seems to be sometime in June? Hope I didn't miss it!

[Tony Hwang]

Hmmm, Low IQ people just can't crack at Linux. Linux is used widely commercially, industrially every where. Do you use a WiFi router in your home network? What OS does control/operate it for an example?

[Desk Rabbit]

There's a huge difference between using Linux on the Desktop and "using" Linux embedded in a device.

[Peter Köhlmann]

Really? You, the "expert" will certainly be able to explain in detail

[JEDIDIAH]

I would make it more a matter of taste and laziness than IQ.

DOS is the force fed default option. In order to use anything else, even MacOS you've to got actually put a little bit of effort into it. Just making a conscious choice is more than some people are willing to do.

The FUD that Lemmings have been perpetrating since the 80s is a big part of that. That's the beauty of tablets. They look so alien to PCs from a laymans perspective that all of those decades of FUD doesn't matter anymore. They are the perfect little wedge against the MS hegemony.

[JEDIDIAH]

Embedded devices give no access to the underpinnings of the OS. They just represent a single user level application that an end user would interact with via a webpage or IR remote.

Although a desktop Linux user can build the same kind of machine too.

Whereas as every day is laugh at MS day!

[Snit]

Easy: with the desktop you have to worry about an user interface for the user that ties together a bunch of features and allows them to work with many tasks in a way that does not exist on embedded devices.

It is also why you and your herd have such a hard time coming up with ways desktop Linux benefits your productivity, efficiency, and error-reduction. In embedded devices you can find examples of benefits - on the desktop you are very hard pressed to do so.

Laugh at a corporations making a boatload of profit or its well-paid employees who can buy themselves luxury cars and eat out on a regular basis? I'm curious.

[ray carter]

Laugh at the folks who actually USE a bloated bunch of spaghetti code so the above can happen!

[chrisv]

As I recall, about a year ago you Windolts were whimpering and whining about Micro$oft needing to lay people off.

LOL

Then you pathetic losers got all butthurt that FOSS advocates didn't feel "sorry" for M$ workers, as if the Empire Empire is entitled to forever suck the world's wallets dry. Too stupid to understand that money saved by not buying M$ slopware gets spent elsewhere, creating jobs elsewhere.

[Slimer]

So Windows, which runs faster than KDE, GNOME and Unity, is the bloated one?

[GreyCloud]

How do you know or think that MS os is spaghetti code?

[GreyCloud]

So? Boeing also lays off a lot of people to weed out the deadwood.

[Bruce Sinclair]

.. only one day ? People laugh at windows (or more correctly, swear at it :) ), all day every day. No comparison. :)

[Bruce Sinclair]

.. of course .... of course there is ... now just come this way ...
