Linux Sucks

Please be aware, the following post may shock you.  I did not know much about Linux when I posted this, I have redeemed myself though, I've found out a lot more about Linux and I do NOT think this way about Linux any more, as a matter of fact I would like to switch to Linux on one of my computers, but the thing is I cannot find Linux versions or decent Linux equivalents of the software I use, unfortunately. Plus the computer I want to use it on is not compatible.

OK, it's been over a year since my last blog post, but I thought I'd rant about Linux for a while. I used to have Ubuntu, which is said to be the best version of Linux out there, and OK it does have some redeeming qualities, like...

  1. It's totally safe on line, no risk of viruses or hackers, because they don't give a funk about it, they know Linux sucks so they don't bother attacking it.
  2. Once it's installed you can use it right away.
But all that aside it's totally crap, just like all the other Linuxes out there. Let me list all the flaws Linux has...

  1. Difficult to use.
  2. You can't do as much with Linux as you can with Windows.
  3. You can't completely customize it to look the way you want like you can with Windows. I have Windows set up so that on my desktop I have shortcuts to my most used programs and shortcuts to my videos, games, music and pictures folders. I have a custom desktop background, and I even have the folders themselves looking the way I want, complete with custom folder background and text colours. It is impossible to customize Ubuntu like this.
  4. Incompatible with Windows software.
  5. It's own available software sucks.
  6. If you want to install something, if it's not in the Ubuntu repository or in the form of a .deb file, you have to go into the terminal and type in about 500,000,000 lines of code to get the dam thing installed, like if you were using DOS, and IF you are lucky, the bugger might actually work. I never know what I'm typing when I have to use the terminal, I just type in what they tell me, I might just as well be typing in the program itself, witch is probably what I AM doing. On Windows you can get some things working WITHOUT having to install them.
  7. I can't use my printer, scanner or camera with Ubuntu, as does not support the drivers because they are just for Windows and Mac.
  8. Very small storage space, less than 4 gigabytes for your files and downloads and stuff.
  9. When you want to aceeses a different hardrive or partition, or do ANYTHING considered even slightly dangerous to it, you ALLWAYS have to enter your password.
  10. Mac OS is probably better, but I cant tell you for sure as I've never used it.
  11. Linux users think they have such a great O/S, but Linux is so LIMITED, they must me out of there tiny minds.

Now let's consider what qualities windows has...

  1. Easy to use.
  2. Versitile, theres almost no limit to the things it can do.
  3. Fully customisable.
  4. Compatible with Windows software (of course).
  5. All the best software is always for Windows and not Linux.
  6. Installing software is easy, just download something and click on the installers exe or msi.
  7. I can use all my hardware as the drivers are compatible.
  8. Full hardrive access.
  9. No need to enter password everytime I want to access a different hardrive or partition or do something.
  10. I still can't tell if mac os is better because I don't know.
  11. Windows has more users who agree with me that Linux sucks.
Now let's look at the flaws windows has...

  1. It's venerable to Internet attacks such as hackers and viruses, but guess what, that's why we have antivirus and firewalls.
  2. After installing windows or any new hardware, you have to install the drivers, but that's not really a problem.
So, in conclusion, Windows Rocks and Linux Sucks.
