Thread: This ignorance really is horrible

be prepared soap opera-like post:

now, girlfriend's sister got new notebook no os on it. , since girlfriend uses ubuntu regularly on machine, , grew (she has no problems using whatsoever, says it's simple use, if not simpler windows. canonical must doing right, that's story), told sister try out, , if likes it, can install it.

nooooo. clever sister first asked else (her boyfriend maybe? lol soap opera), , lectured. these 2 statements made genius amazing i've heard far: don't bother linux, there no software it, made windows;you have know , use programming language every time want open application ( guess referring terminal maybe? lol).

willing talk windows 7. without ever seeing ubuntu. not on screenshot. doesn't matter tell her, says windows 7, period.

, around live, might going far if out of 10 windows machines, not counting laptops, 1 has legal (paid for) 1 on it, can imagine turn out of this.

point happily suggesting use of ubuntu having problems windows, or if getting new computer... reactions pretty sad. , never frightening; tell them there no viruses , it's free... think on in cases i'm better off shutting up. i'm getting tired of regularly getting responses this.

sorry long post. , english. i'm working on it.
