Amazing argument there:

You are wrong but I'm not going to tell you why.

Anyway I did a thesis on the modern totalitarian regime in China, I sort of know how things are going over there. If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck. Just because this duck is wearing a fancy cowboy hat doesn't make it a goose.

EDIT: inb4 you make the real communism doesn't have a regime argument, that's just arguing so you can argue. Did someone mention PMS after one of your posts in another thread?

It's not like they paid for Windows 95 - Windows 8 anyway, so this comes as a huge surprise to me....

They "officially" are using linux, in reality it will be business as usual with pirated copies of Windows.

Ubuntu.. sigh. just tried the 13.04 release.. took me a day to make it boot and guess why
I forgot to unplug my ps3 controller and it wouldnt install/boot correctly with that dam thing plugged in my usb

And when i finally figured that out and got "everything" working as it should, i managed to break the system after .. maybe.. 3 hours. Most of that time was me trying to start a proper unity session from the command line without using lightdm.. something they have zero documentation for, probably because.. what ubuntu user would want to start in the command line anyway..

gave up on that and started editing other config files mostly related to themes and tweaks i usually do on other distributions.. little tweaks, as i'm no power user but eventually ubuntu refused to boot and i was too lazy to find out what config file is causing it so i gave up again and.. moved on to another distribution

still undecided though.. not sure if ubuntu sucks or its me who sucks at configuring ubuntu.. probably both.. but whatever.. fuck it

Meh.. debian.. too old.. at least they finally added xfce 4.10 in their testing repos a week ago. What i dont get is.. why isnt ubuntu stable.. they freeze stuff for testing and they have tons of of users.. why do i keep finding bugs after bugs in the first hours of using it..?! Do they really need 1-2 years of testing like debian ? And how come bleeding-edge rolling releases like arch or gentoo are often way more stable than non rolling ones? Bogs my mind.. anyway.. back to slackware.
