Such as? [example of: incendiary language, or any personal attack]
Seems to me, the ideal of converting Windoze users to a Linux
desktop, starts with education and investigation ... on their part
and ours. I've attacked this notion of usin winhardware and closed
source secret stuff with Linux, but not the persons who think it's
permissable. Which it isn't for all the reasons Deno and Cilvileme
(previous Mdk Forum link) and I gave. 'Sends a chill up my spine'
(where have you read that before lately ?)
Appears some of y'all believe we should coddle and court the
winblows mindset with the goal of Linux takin over the desktop. Ain't
gonna happen. Most people (winwoes users) will foster and blindly
accept mediocrity till they're stuck with it. Which has and is
happening. Seems to me some Linux users are willing to follow also.
Then we'll all be stuck runnin on win-hardware eventually. Which has
and is happening.
If you were insulted by 'foolishness. A user error, and a
regression to a Winblows mindset.' that's your deal. I can only
suggest you get your feelings off your shirt sleeve, 'try to avoid
win-hardware' and proprietary closed source software in the future.
