That’s fine, I’m not advocating everyone switch to Linux. I’m a computer scientist in training so I had to learn all about it anyway in the course of studying operating systems.

It would be an equally valid argument if a bunch of people were on here bitching about how hard Windows is to use, but as they aren’t it’s actually pretty irrelevant.

You don’t need a to use a CLI for any of that in a Linux desktop distro, sorry but you’re just completely wrong.

Man I taught my 63 year old mother to use a Linux desktop distro and she thinks it’s easier than Windows ( less cluttered, less popups demanding action, easier to navigate). You guys should be ashamed of yourselves.

You don’t.

What Linux distro were you using where you had to do this? Every modern desktop-oriented Linux distro has package manager tools and automatic updaters. Unless you’re installing from source you don’t *need* to do this. Most people just do it because it’s easier than interacting with a GUI if you don’t mind typing a few…

Go learn something about computers, Steve. Either that or slither back to the pit. You don’t have to use the command line in a modern Linux distro unless you want to, but you can do things with the command line that you cannot through a GUI in any OS. It’s a feature, not a bug.

You mean use your computer without actually having to learn anything except what pretty button to click on. Boom.

Glad you’re enjoying Linux, just a quick note — if you stick a -y after that upgrade you won’t get prompted in the terminal at all, it will auto-respond yes to all upgrade prompts ( which only tell you the size if it’s a bigger upgrade and ask for a y or n on whether to install ).

None of these guys looks anywhere near as good as Zayn, just saying. Enjoy obscurity, annoying people.

You didn’t say anything about puppies! In that case I’ll do the porn parody for even just one puppy ( plus drugs, just for me though not for the puppy). You can never have too many puppies — FACT

Wait, am I supposed to fuck all these Dalmatians? If that’s the case I’m gonna need a fireman suit and some Viagra on top of that million and the good drugz.

I don’t think there’s a porn company out there with that much money, sorry.

$1,001 ?

I did not know that, thank you.

Not telling the parents the sex of the child? That doesn’t make sense to me at all, parents should know that as soon as the doctors do. And you may not like it, but the simple fact is that aborting a fetus because it is either male or female is still part of a woman’s reproductive choice.

Very true, I was just bringing my uncle up because he’s the basis of my experience with mental disability.

My uncle is severely mentally handicapped ( IQ of <40 or something IIRC ) and my 84 year old grandmother still cares for him, alone now for about six years since my grandpa died. She has osteoporosis and is in severe pain — although she’d never admit as much. The really bad part is people with my uncle’s disorder are…

I agree with you that this is very problematic, but that’s a problem IMO that has to be solved by dealing with the underlying attitudes. People have a right to do things like this.
