Lol, every year since Windows NT4 someone somewhere somehow reposts this same
apocalyptic nonsense and of how "This will be the year of the Linux Desktop".

I don't know exactly what technically happens during a Linux install that
seems to turn otherwise smart logical BBS guys into retarded fanatical
screaming teenage girls eager to give Torvalds a fingerlicking-good blowjob
while everyone who runs Windows or remotely an MS fan is looked upon as
having little pointed ears and a pitchfork tail.

And every year for the last decade I see every Linux desktop only being just
skin-deep. As in, doing anything beyond simple tasks seems to require the 
command prompt... so, the year of the Linux desktop seemed to skip 2022.

Far be it for me to tell someone what OS to run or how to spend their free
time but I enjoy having a cold beer on a summer afternoon knowing my BBS 
"works" and has worked for decades on Windows, on the same hardware, the same 
setup, same scripts, you name it. Theres something amusing about tossing mail 
from this net and others, where the vast majority of convo is "Linux testing
and tinkering". Always something wrong or always adjusting.

Mannnnn.... in my house, computers work for me and not the other way around.
