Dude!, seriously.

And that's my point right there. Rather than to finish whatever I'm doing then go out and get hammered, I'm stuck figuring out what command does what. Time-management is not a familiar term in Linux.

Yap, it takes a while to get used to it, but it's the same with windows, you need to learn what program does what when you got your first computer.

I just hate the fact Linux assumes I have all the time in the world.

And it doesn't help there's really no tech support. Just try this command, no?, then try this, no?!!....well try entering blah. Cheesy

Linux are for those who literally has no life outside a machine.

Bitcoin better worth all this crap. Freaking Satoshi. I was quiet happy with my Windows. Angry

Actually the first bitcoin client was for windows.

I've been using GNU/Linux for about 13 years now, it was love at first sight!

Nowadays there are very user friendly distributions, and as far as my experience goes, linux systems are much more easy and faster to use than Windows systems.

And tech support is quite good: google.com. Cheesy

Absolutely right, but........I'd rather watch another porn vid.

Yap, it works fine with that. Cool

On the other hand, only OS X and Linux gives me flexibility for one-liners such as

Code:

ssh root@xpm24 "./primecoind.2 listtransactions \"\" 20 | grep blocktime |  sed -e \"s/.* : //\" -e \"s/,//\" | sort | xargs -n 1 -I '{}' date --date=@'{}'"

Lol, the little windows that could. Roll Eyes

Didn't know that, thanks.

Now I can't even rant properly now that theymos is here. He probably has his own distro.

Linux I find much more friendly to me. Windows can be too limiting. However, I use both OS for different purposes.

Ok, you're just saying that to look kewl.

The only dif is that one is free. CMD can do just as much.

Nope but stay with Windows we don't really care. Use what you find best suited for your needs.

Whoa there. "we don't really care", Who are you? Linus Torvalds.

Please not post.

I thought you wanted to learn something but you only made a thread to whine about a OS you don't need at all; so, yeah I don't care if Linux is not suitable for your needs.

Wow, took you that long to realize. Who makes an off-topic in such a way other than to rant.

Try

Code:

man man

And this: http://askubuntu.com/

It took me a while to get fluent with Linux but I won't get back to Windows unless I need it for some exotic reason.

OS X and Windows are better for "casual" users as you say

On the other hand, only OS X and Linux gives me flexibility for one-liners such as

Code:

ssh root@xpm24 "./primecoind.2 listtransactions \"\" 20 | grep blocktime |  sed -e \"s/.* : //\" -e \"s/,//\" | sort | xargs -n 1 -I '{}' date --date=@'{}'"

What I like about Linux: your computer stays yours
What I like about OS X: simple, clean & efficient without dumbing down too much (UNIX based)
What I like about Windows: any exotic hardware with drivers? Probably Windows only...

What I've learnt in 20 years IT: be platform agnostic, just use the best for each of them

Linux is like driving very slowly, admiring all the roadkills. Cool

Windows is like waking up at the end of the journey. Grin
