Rubbish. I use linux at work and at home and there is no OS I like better than AmigaOS. My point is that linux is used professionally in places where any existing version of AmigaOS would never be considered because it is robust.
Look if you want to deny my statement, do it point blank or at least stick to the merit, though this requires guts I know. That kind of comments, they're just nasty, you're sure you can't do more? It doesn't prove you're intelligent, it only proves you have a problem with anti-/non- Linux people. That's a typical example of posting that is in spite of discussing the issue, cutting out some ambiguous and pretty off-topic phrases to make fun of the author. You're here to talk about Amiga or to pull legs of people not liking to have Linux on their hardware, cellphone, wife, you know what I mean? Ask yourself this question please.
Now to reply, try to do this with Linux - try to read through some legal statement in acrobat reader, then paste it to the oo document. Also, get to a company sales, receive a request from your customer and respond with a oo-made doc rich offer. Would you? Many "programmers" think all business is about c programming and vi. I do not understand.
Also when you show off so keen in Linux - do you expect an ambiguous user (1 000 000 000 people we're talking roughly) to configure ANYTHING after system out of box install in order to use it without fear? You only show how much full of themselves Linux people are, considering themselves "the propher" Desktop users, while others still remain ***sholes, morons, MS conspiracy part-ofs, lamers, non-having-anything-todo-with-THE-ITs etc. This is sad and embarassing.
Where's a room for Amiga in such a mentality??
One more about Linux hostility since this is a part of the thread already - I'm always happy to be able to share my opinion... Robust? Perhaps. Does great work where employed? Perhaps. But it is definitely NOT a desktop system by all means of definition of a desktop system. Linux ruined or ate my data many times and I blamed myself, right.
If you are using a KDE4 based window manager you should blame yourself for any loss of data caused by X going down. You have the choice to use a robust window manager such as fvwm, but you opted for KDE. Even gnome is more stable. If you are using KDE4/plasma with all the desktop effects and other gubbins then you are probably using proprietry drivers which taint the kernel also, introducing instabilities.
Since all of these are your choice, then you can't blame the kernel for failing as a result of choosing to use an immature and buggy desktop.
Now, I'm not a kernel puritan, my machine at home is using proprietry nvidia drivers but I understand that by doing so, I may have compromised the stability of my kernel. That said, it has never crashed or locked up, even under very heavy load.
It's KDE but I like it as it is (though I can re-log into Gnome UI). Thanks much for advice but I'm not gonna use it. I like stuff as is, ain't touching any admin matters unless mandatory or critical. Now I use Linux for my work only and since it's programming mostly, instead of taking care for my data I subversion it. Backup is a better way than proper sophisticated maintenance. Economically.
The conclusion. I for the Lord's sake never ever mentioned AmigaOS IS better than Linux. I only mentioned Linux people aren't a good group to be talked about Amiga at all. If you exchange some delusional and fun-to-be AmigaOS and Linux comparisons, either in work or home, it only means you among many people, see and read things you're supposed to encounter. Don't want to be rude here but this kind of mental twist requires attention. I mean as long as one wants to be more happy.
One more - if you want to discuss, let us go PM. You feel insulted perhaps. Well you should now I'm pretty sensitive and I have my rights. You put my words upside down and make laugh at it, I don't like that so I responded, as simple as that.
