I feel like I'm the only person who ever uses Debian anymore. It's always the excuse: "Well, I never have any time to put up with playing with packages and x y z blah blah blah."

And yet you use Ubuntu? Sad face.

I hate Ubuntu. HATE. It's a cheap knockoff of Debian, and their "just works" promise is a bunch of bullshit. My EEE1000HD's wireless STILL never works right in it, even if I use the madwifi driver. Mac OS fucking X can use it, why the hell can't those thick ubuntufags figure it out?

They ask "Well, does it work?" and I reply "Yes, but barely. I get a 20b/s download rate and I drop from IRC all of the time, if you haven't noticed." They reply: "Seems like it's working fine to me."

... Burn in hell, it works fucking astoundingly in Debian. I can leech a 300MB file off the campus net in five minutes. Less if it's at 3AM.

There's also the bloat of Ubuntu. It takes a long time to boot from a LiveCD, almost as long from a HD. It's their huge fucking kernel that does it. Sure, you're not paying $200 for it, but it's getting as bad as Windows is. At least Windows 7 "just works". If you want a true "just works" computer, buy a Mac and shut the hell up.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for new linux users, but when you throw them into an unsecure system that's bloated and usually has problems... I'm sure Ubuntu has scared off more people than it's helped move to Linux.

I'll light the sudo command on fire at a later time. I really don't feel like getting after it right now.
