A guy from Ubuntu forum decided to go without GUI for 30 days—that was about a month ago. Nothing but CLI applications, no GUI—at all. Little did he know that the Linux community is so intolerant of his choice of Distro.
On his 12th day of going commando, someone from a general Linux forum started dissing him, calling him a fag.(not the exact word, but the meaning’s the same) I don’t understand the Linux Community at all. Maybe that guy just belongs to a very small group of egotistical 1337 71NuX h4×02—he’s still a douche bag. Behaving like a 10 year old on a public forum is really poor etiquette.
He doesn’t like Ubuntu. So… wtf?! It’s freedom isn’t it? The ability to run Linux on your x86 hardware is freedom. Paying nothing for your software is freedom; choosing Linux over Windows, OSX, Unix, OpenSolaris, BSD… etc. is bloody freedom, isn’t it?
It’s like dissing someone who chooses to eat banana flavored ice-cream instead of the original vanilla. That sort of behaviour is ohhh sooooo L33T! So bleeding juvenile. So what if someone decides to use Ubuntu, Slackware, Gentoo, Arch Linux, Mandriva, Fedora or whatever Linux. The bottomline is this: It’s still LINUX! Even if he decides to run Windows, and decides to stick to Dos for the next 30 days, I don’t see what’s so wrong with that.
Sure, that bugger can exercise his freedom of speech, but everyone can see that he’s a dumbass. Enough said.
