I am not a Geek
Okay, that is a rather big lie.
What it really means is I am not *enough* of a geek. I couldn't get Ubuntu to work. I couldn't even get it to *install*. What I got was black screen. That's it.
At least the ol' Blue Screen of Death had some colour. Also, it appeared after you had done stuff. Never when you had *finished* doing stuff, but still you had a chance to actually get in there and muck a little with something or other. Before things exploded.
I tried linux and never even got to the frickin desktop. And this is the 'easy' linux! This is the linux the other users make fun of! Easy my ass!
I went to try to google for companionship, you know, other lost mooing members of the herd in black screen or worse. Those poor poor people. They politely posted on forums for help and the nix geeks FLAYED them. The few times the nix geeks said anything that wasn't, essentially, asking them if their inbred mothers had to help them put on their pants, which they immediately soiled, it was to say to quit to command line and then, well, they utterly lost me in nix speak. But the gist was to type about as much text as War and Peace, and that probably wouldn't help, but you had to do it anyway.
I firmly believe we evolved past command line for a reason. I don't care how much shine you have in your gleeing fanboy eyes, DOS is flippin inefficient. And an accessibility nightmare, thank you.
So, I may not really like microsoft, but--and this is so weird--I got a fresh appreciation for how its OS works.
Yes, still not well. But better than anything else.
Sigh.
Oh, if only Mozilla would make an OS...
