I’m not the angry autist that started the argument. He is indeed an angry autist. Doesnt change that he has at least one valid point. He is a dick though.

That said, I agree with the initial sentiment he expressed, and including myself in it. The fact is there is a perception that Linux is complicated, and we aren’t helping ourselves, since we dont explain shit.

Linux does not solve OPs problem. Telling them to use Linux does not help them at all because its so far from how to actually get what they want and introduces so many new problems that its laughable.

The fact that using Linux allows them to find workarounds to the specific problems is not a solution in and of itself, and holy shit are there still usability problems with Linux if you start doing anything slightly complicated, which it seems like OP is.

Linux people be like:

1. Draw a circle.
2. Draw the rest of the owl

The blind egotism and arrogance of Linux users really is quite twatish. You guys are just insufferable. Being right doesnt make you less insufferable.

In all seriousness, its gonna depend. If it can survive minimal ventilation, throw a shoebox with some holes at it. You probably dont want it getting touched, but so long as its not, you’re prolly fine.

It does can but maybe no?

For the moment. You might say we are.losing the battle. Wouldn’t come close to saying we are losing the war though.
