Topic: So what kills a linux distro for you guys?

For me it's GNOME 3. Looks good but seriously aggravates me with huge title bars and excess clicking. I also hate how the workspaces panel pops in only halfway sometimes. In or out with that thing dammit.

The attempt to be the nigger's Mac.

The attempt to use a subordinate clause as a complete sentence.

Oh stop with that shit. If Mac were open we'd all happily use that, but guess what, it's not.

It's really hilarious when the "most advanced operating system in the world" refuses to work on hardware that isn't Apple-licensed.

Well, I said use when what I really meant was RAPE. LOL!

Obviously, we wouldn't use a Mac, just the pieces of code we like. Such is the beauty of the open source model.

Gnome3 and KDE kill it.

@174,665 (A)
OSx86 Project allows you to use it on almost any device, however it's not open source, which is one reason I'm no longer using it. I'd like to get linux on this computer again.

Well, yeah, a Garageband for something other than OS X is nice.

Constantly Googling shit to figure out to force it to do what you want it to do. Seriously, all the fucking commands are bullshit. Then there are occasional issues with drivers and not being able to use programs that only work with Windows/Mac, and the whole Linux has no games thing. Fuck WINE, WINE sucks. I'd rather just pirate Windows. It just works.

It all ends up getting solved non Win by going to a future Tablet/Book and the wait will not be that long.

That was such crap English so let me try this again.

HP a huge producer of Desktops etc has decided to install the Palm/Linux O/S on ALL Products ASAP. First each will boot independent of each other.

People will then discover a Linux that is far more user friendly including far more often updates from HP.
