Shit like that was the last straw for me and I ended up bailing on Linux for, like, 10 years until I got back into it around 2006.

Honestly, it sucked. Like most computing at the time. Everything came on a ton of floppy disks, it was impossible to update online unless you had a good connection (which nobody did), and you had to do everything by hand, including compiling a lot of stuff which took forever. I mean, I’m glad I got the experience, but I would never wanna go back to that. It sucked.

Geez, I haven’t heard of someone running Slackware in at least 15 years. I mean, I know it’s still around, I just haven’t heard anyone say they were running it.

I always find it funny how close German can sometimes be to English.

Edit: oops, not German

So you admit, there is no reason not to believe what is written in the article, then you posit a strawman argument in the attempt to validate the point you already admitted was meaningless.

How is this anything other than an absurd amount of bias?

What evidence do you have for that? If you’re going to call the writer of this article a liar, you should back that up with proof.

OK… You’ve listed an apparent amount of expertise in the subject matter under discussion, but you stopped short of offering your opinion. Excuse me if I’m a little confused.
