    Ah, the RTFM argument. So you didn’t go to school, did you? You picked up a book and just started educating yourself?

      I did and after entering the field I had chosen after graduation, I quickly left. It wasn’t for me. What paid for school, however, was fixing computers, electronic word processors, and building and selling PC’s. Bought an Apollo system to learn Domain Aegis UNIX on and checked out every book on UNIX I could get my hands on. When Linux arrived, I got in at Linux 0.99pl13. I got a job and paid to continue my education. So yeah. When I started there wasn’t a community of enablers.

        Save it for the publishers dawg just stop being so hostile and negative about something that’s genuinely a good thing.

          Gamer’s coming to Linux and messing up all the forums and chats with their pleas to make their Windows games work is NOT a good thing.

          • It promotes non open source software.
          • They complain about their games, when the problem is the software wasn’t written for Linux. Complain to the makers and the makers of Wine and Proton. ANY issues are not Linux issues. Linux is perfect.
