Don't mind them coming and going as they please to rearrange, replace and take away pieces of furniture. It's for your own safety. * Sign a contract stating that while you paid for and can use the furniture, it ultimately belongs to the store, and they can haul it off at any time for any reason. * Be prepared to move to another house once the furniture company decides it's no longer up to code, based on the decisions of the mayor who is also the owner of the furniture store. * Don't worry too much about all the too-low ceilings in your new home. They built it that way because midgets are all the rage, and it would be too much effort to create floor plans for both normal sized people and the vertically challenged. Just get your legs chopped off already, grandpa. * Be prepared to pay extra for access to your breaker box or to have more than two guests over at a time. Most homeowners don't need that functionality, so clearly it's a premium feature.

>> [_] Anon 3252790 Sour grapes much Steps debunked: 1. No file extensions: File extensions are completely arbitrary wastes of space and the idea of tying you down to one program for each file type is dumb, simply probing a file with the `file` command can tell you 100* more than a file extension and is just as fast when scrolling through a folder 2. The registry: Instead of needing proprietary bullshit that requires 1000 lines of Pajeet code to interact with anything, GNU/Linux uses files for literally everything as it provides a nice standard to allow everything to interact seamlessly without having to write thousands of lines of glue to get two things talking. As far as the naming schemes go, once you work with it for at least a week (something this author clearly did not) it all starts to make sense Linux subscribes to recall over recognition, it treats the user as capable and expects them to be able remember naming schemes and shortcuts as well as concise commands. It might be fun typing out `copy` because it's easy to remember to the first 20 times but after a year or so you'd much rather type `cp` Ok this is /f/ not /g/ I can't really be fucked going on but real quick: GNU/Linux font rendering is objectively 100 times better than Windows font rendering, this isn't even up for debate go check google images At least with GNU/Linux you have a choice of what kind of window manager you want not just "here's DWM, it's shit and crashes all the time but have fun lol" "hurr durr da communists don't want da NSA backdoors in the systems" isn't getting dignified with a proper response

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.
>> [_] Anon 3166936 >># No, Richard, it's 'Linux', not 'GNU/Linux'. The most important contributions that the FSF made to Linux were the creation of the GPL and the GCC compiler. Those are fine and inspired products. GCC is a monumental achievement and has earned you, RMS, and the Free Software Foundation countless kudos and much appreciation. Following are some reasons for you to mull over, including some already answered in your FAQ. One guy, Linus Torvalds, used GCC to make his operating system (yes, Linux is an OS -- more on this later). He named it 'Linux' with a little help from his friends. Why doesn't he call it GNU/Linux? Because he wrote it, with more help from his friends, not you. You named your stuff, I named my stuff -- including the software I wrote using GCC -- and Linus named his stuff. The proper name is Linux because Linus Torvalds says so. Linus has spoken. Accept his authority. To do otherwise is to become a nag. You don't want to be known as a nag, do you? (An operating system) != (a distribution). Linux is an operating system. By my definition, an operating system is that software which provides and limits access to hardware resources on a computer. That definition applies whereever you see Linux in use. However, Linux is usually distributed with a collection of utilities and applications to make it easily configurable as a desktop system, a server, a development box, or a graphics workstation, or whatever the user needs. In such a configuration, we have a Linux (based) distribution. Therein lies your strongest argument for the unwieldy title 'GNU/Linux' (when said bundled software is largely from the FSF). Go bug the distribution makers on that one. Take your beef to Red Hat, Mandrake, and Slackware. At least there you have an argument. Linux alone is an operating system that can be used in various applications without any GNU software whatsoever. Embedded applications come to mind as an obvious example.
