Linux
Okay. So I downloaded linux last night. I installed it today. Man. What piece of horse fucking shit! First it comes on 3 discs (I got the Redhat 9 version) and the first time I installed it it kept booting to a dos like screen. What the fuck I thought there was some sort of GUI behind linux. 3 fucking CDs and they couldn't afford a nice layout? I clean boot it again. Again to the dos screen. The third time I actually got to a desktop. Now to install the drivers to the wireless card to get on the net. Wait a minute what is this? There are no drivers for Linux? That's right, unless you want to use someones half assed mish mash of files and call it a driver. I download the files, about 100 small ones and bring them upstairs. Turns out it is all raw code in text files (Apparentely Linux is too stupid for a .txt file so they have to make their own format.) This sucks. First of all I am not a programmer. I am a hardware man. Second I don't have time to compile code. I went on some message boards and everybody on there is talking to me like I know what I doing. They are like go to the source directory and type some long ass line of code. Yeah then what? And where do I type it? In the address bar? Also nothing is compatible with linux. I tried to install halo and got a error message along with it. So yeah you have to be a master programmer just to be able to surf the internet, which sucks because most people are not programmers. Everything you install has to accompanied by lines upon lines of tedious source code. Whats the point? You won't got a pop up or spyware god forbid. Plus the desktop looks ugly as hell. I am just glad I got my hands on a pirate copy and didn't waste the $700 + on the legal copy. So I got fed up and installed XP. All in all I'd rather use a MAC. |
