The different types of Linux users based on their distributions

[Qqmike]

verndog: It appeared out of left field.

I was thinking the same expression at the time.

[InsideJob]

In a free market society I'd be using Lotus 123 and WordPerfect on my Compaq tablet running a quad core DEC Alpha CPU. Really, the best one can hope for is to get bought out at the top like Canonical's Shuttleworth. The banksters will keep printing phony bucks and trickling them down to people with more authority than brains.

Oh, that makes me a "disgruntled ex-Winblows user" type of Linux user, for those of you who are context challenged.

You left out one thing, Steve. What does Post #58 have to do with "The different types of Linux users based on their distributions"? I guess it's Kinda General Kinda Social!

I was wondering that myself. It appeared out of left field. I had to look at the topic title again to make sure I was in the right room.

Add me to the list. ^ is exactly what I did, too.

What's stopping you from doing that? Surely there are all of those things available out there, somewhere.

Um...okay?

Boy, you've totally lost me there. What's "free market" about being 30-40 years behind in development? Sounds more like a communist market to me.

That's what the word "Progressive" means, Oshunluver, setting up a 1930s style economy so everyone has equal outcomes, not opportunities.

[Qqmike]

Yeah. And if you want to know how to fold a fitted sheet, try this:

How to Fold a Fitted Sheet in 30 seconds (OCD Experience Way)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DslWpsTc7SY

It may not do it as perfectly as the more complicated "perfect, corner" methods, but it is quick, and if you pay attention to a few details, you get a good outcome, close enough.

[Qqmike]

Btw, in case you're wondering, I thought I'd jump in to this thread, like others, with some random content (though I did use the sheet-folding this afternoon). WTH.

On topic, anyone else here care to share your selfie/pic showing the "Kubuntu" type, please jump in, totally fun, totally optional.

So she went into the garden to cut a cabbage-leaf to make an apple pie, and at the same time a great she-bear came running up the street and popped its head into the shop. "What! No soap?" So he died, and she -- very imprudently -- married the barber. And there were present the Picninnies, the Joblillies, the Garyulies, and the Grand Panjandrum himself, with the little red button at top, and they all fell to playing the game of catch-as-catch-can till the gunpowder ran out at the heels of their boots.

Also: colorless green ideas sleep furiously.

I thought so--exactly how I see it, too. Could extend this to nonsensical but grammatically correct Haiku. Is there no quantum theory of grammar, though the probabilistic may have failed in 1957, why not try it?

Pink roses are nice, but I prefer purple.

[GreyGeek]

... Is there no quantum theory of grammar, though the probabilistic may have failed in 1957, why not try it?

There is. It was invented by stefani Hawker when she modified matrix brane theory to create the infinite multiverse theory. She says everything that could be written or invented already exists in one of the multiverses, so why bother.

The ideas of Lee Smolin are a counter to such multiverse concepts, which appear to this layman as unscientific. And, hence, nonsense, not even wrong.

[Qqmike]

I'm familiar with literature on the multiverse concept. One can not say anything about whether it is valid or not. Not yet, anyway. Not according to leading cosmologists.

Yes, interesting. As is this correct sentence:
Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

For this (and a diagram of it) and other such grammatically correct constructions, see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffal...uffalo_buffalo
For example,
James while John had had had had had had had had had had had a better effect on the teacher.
