I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

If she didnt even knew how to install windows then she was way too stupid for school anyways.

Ubuntu just saved her from wasting years of her life just to get an F and fail.

People like this are why I support eugenics.

>>59393214
You must be some oldfag to think that modern colleges would fail out a person like her.

They would just push her through whatever liberal faggot degree she chose and take her money.

I handed in my thesis a week late because of LaTeX. Had to take my 3000 word thesis to the computer science department and it took them that long to fix it.

>This girl THOUGHT when she was buying a computer it would have Windows.
that's not true, she picked ubuntu because it was cheaper
the college explained that ubuntu was perfectly fine
she could have brought it to any computer shop to have windows installed if she so chose
but no, she's a dumb attention whore and went on tv and pussied out of education instead

That's messed up. The Linux foundation should pay for her collage.

Every Linux user (geek) says Linux is free. NO IT"S NOT!!

Sure, you can download almost every Linux distro for free, but after
that, the costs begin.

MS Windows has always cost around $125 or so. Buy it, install the disk,
punch a few keys, register it, and an hour or so later you have a
working ready to use Operating system. Ok, you'll probably spend a few
hours tweaking it and setting it up to match your likes, but after that,
it's ready to go.

On the other hand, Linux costs nothing to download, but as soon as you
begin to install it, the cost begins. How much is your time worth? Even
if it's only minimum wage, which is currently around $7.50 an hour,
consider the hundreds of hours you will spend installing it. You cant
just install a disk and have it ready to use in an hour or two. Instead,
you begin the install process, and spend days or weeks getting it to
work correctly. This could result in spending literally HUNDREDS of
hours. Even if you can do it in 50 hours, that's $375.00 if your time is
only worth $7.50 an hour. You could buy THREE copies of Windows for that
money.

But it doesn't stop there. With Linux, you will forever spend hours and
hours in the future, working out the bugs and keeping Linux working,
much of that time will be spent reading huge books full of complicated
code and tutorials. Many more hours asking others online for help, and
much of the time you wont understand a word they said because they talk
an entirely different language that only a Linux Geek can understand.

At this point, one of two things will happen. Either you'll say "fuck
it" delete the contents of your hard drive, and buy Windows or get a
Macintosh. - OR - You will become obsessed and addicted to Linux, losing
your friends, family, and social life in the process. Before long,

Damn right you are! Once addicted to Loonix you'll be sucking strangers dicks at cheap motels in no time cuz you need to buy dem 256GB of RAM and dat NVIDIA TCSP40M-24GB-PB in order to smoothly watch your animu waifus without screentearing on your T60 running Xubuntu 12.04...

>>59395098
That's why people use flavors of Ubuntu. It just werks.

>liberal faggot degree
Seeing that only liberals seek degreed education. LIberal is default for any degree.

>If she didnt even knew how to install windows then she was way too stupid for school anyways.

In comparison to former generations who grew up with DOS or early Windows versions today's smartphone faggots know fucking nothing! No idea about how a computer works/directory structure etc. iPhones don't even come with a file manager.

She is cute, I would wife her.

>>59395098
On the other hand, you have a perfectly operating system, that you own, and much better understanding of the field.
You can use that, to profit more than minimum wage. So in the end, it was worth it.

>>59396645
You should be a driver before you buy a car. And when you have troubles with your car you either call a mechanic or try to fix it yourself because changing old brakes is not that hard.

And nothing of value was lost. I don't think this grill ever made the slightest chance of finishing school.

Who does she sue for damages though, Stallman or Torvald?

I THOUGHT when I was buying a car it would run on petrol.

It did NOT run on petrol. It ran on DIESEL!

This caused me to lose my job!

When you buy a car, MAKE SURE it uses petrol!

Hilarious. Nobody around her knew how to install windows ? College had no free Windows licences ? They probably did, like every college.

Dumb cunt is dumb and news channel is even worst.

1100 dollars for a laptop with Ubuntu???
Those are Guatemalan dollars or Pesos, right?

Man, US currency isn't worth anything anymore!

Prices in Europe: 350 for a used Thinkpad T430 with Windows 7, 350 more for 16GB RAM, a 512GB SSD and a new battery, and I got a cheap, reliable and most of all powerful laptop.

Btw. it has dual boot now, I need Ubuntu for work and university, Windows is just there to test client software.

Duh ... if you buy a diesel car that was clearly advertised as a diesel car and the dealer told you it runs on diesel, you can't sue anybody because it doesn't run on regular gas.
