    Jedi got a reaction from VicBar in Where the linux users at   
    The only funny thing about the comic strip at the bottom is how blatantly it misrepresents Linux. 
     
    Linux Mint has fantastic out of box support as does Ubuntu, to name a couple. Secondly, the only "compiling" you're going to be doing is if you're compiling your own Kernel for a distribution like Gentoo, in which case... yeah, it can be complete hell; however, to show Linux as a whole being as difficult as it is to set up a particular distro is stupid.
     
    EDIT: I am using Arch Linux. It is lovely.

    I actually find Ubuntu and Ubuntu based distros easier and more intuitive to install than windows. It's also much quicker with less things to do after initial setup outside of customization.

    My girlfriend has been a die-hard Apple fan for some time now... she has owned nothing but an iPhone/iPad/iPod/MacBook, etc.
     
    She gets into a relationship with me and she is now the proud owner of a Samsung Galaxy S6 and LOVES it.
     
    I told her not to do something, and she listened. Sorry, that detracts from the intention of the thread but I thought it was too awesome not to post.

    Jedi got a reaction from EposVox in Would you pay 4.99$ for a Linux distro that works?   
    So somehow one particular group's refusal to use a product somehow equates to all enterprises not willing to use Linux simply based on it not being "supported"? I am not sure if I follow your logic here. You're making a broad statement based on a particular circumstance...

    And you base this on what, exactly?..
     
    There is not a single piece of software that is guaranteed to have no bugs/crashes. Not a one. Secondly, Red Hat is far from a distro that "JUST WORKS".

    If there was such a thing, absolutely... I would pay much more than that for software that is absolutely guaranteed to work in every single circumstance, however given that not a thing like that exists... I am afraid I will be keeping my $4.99+

    ubuntu software center is where it's at, as well as installing steam if you're gonna be gaming.
    the number of linux compatible games is rising at a steady pace.

    The Verge has posted an interesting article regarding the use of e-Cigarettes; http://www.theverge.com/2015/12/8/9873458/e-cigarette-vape-lung-disease-diacetyl-cupcake-cotton-candy
    The article has some very interesting findings and may lead to regulations on the use of these so called safe alternative devices in both public and private venues or places. We may see a similar restaurant/bar ban of these products in the near future.
