Whatever dude, you just proved your arguement is worthless by saying
I hate linux and all of its users
Tip to all Linux users: Lose the false sense of superiority, you arn't fooling anyone.
ROFL... nobody said linux users feel superior, must just be that windows users feel inferior.
I don't really know who you are nor do I particularly care. But you're already annoying.
I think expecting a user to go to the commandline, enter "su" and "sudo some-obscure-file-name-with-architecture-id.rpm" just to install something is not intuitive.
I see nothing wrong with sudo installpkg filename.rpm installing successfully (without interaction) a program. I don't know about you, but I get sick of clicking "Next" on EVERY installer...
...until you download the Red Hat package when you're using Fedora Core or Slackware and you realize there's that one #define in an obscure .h file somewhere that's throwing off symbols in 30 different source files. And half your hardware doesn't work right or you have to find the right information about setting it up online when your wireless network card doesn't work.
That was the first problem I had with FC4 on my laptop: I didn't have NDISWrapper except on my NTFS partition, and I didn't have an NTFS filesystem driver, but I did have instructions for getting it off the internet. Really irritating.
Whether or not Microsoft pays companies to only make drivers for Windows (I can't imagine this is true, but I'll take it for sake of argument), the fact of the matter is that there isn't anything I can do on Linux that I can't do on Windows that I
care to do. I don't care about running ssh at home when I can just as easily run Remote Desktop. I don't care about running Apache on a Linux server because -- guess what -- it's running on my Windows Media Center PC at home, side-by-side with IIS 5.1.
