Personal attacks, why am I not surprised at such typical ideological rage. As an uneducated cretin, I may not get things right at times and apologise if I've upset your apple cart, or is that, windows viewpoint.
You don't know my world view, it's nothing like what I post. Facts to the best of my knowledge, rather than ideological denial, apologetics and delusion. My comment on god, was as a parallel.
Linux has over 80% of the smartphone and tablet market, it controls close to 90% of world servers and many other organisations including NASA. Every electronic gizmo's you use, runs a unix/linux system The business you may deal with probably aren't at the cutting edge of technology. The people I deal with in business, are mostly in media and innovation industries, where state of the art, reliability, security, adaptability, control and ease of use are more important then clinging to the dying past. Sure, microsoft has a strangle hold over the urban jungle plebs, because the propaganda says linux is useless, not up to scratch and windows/apple are the ants pants and at the peak of the technological evolution. When the facts are the opposite.
Don't have much to do with linux forums, no real need as I'm not a developer or have a great inkling to change things under the hood. But never come across a linux forums where people are rude or off putting of others, other than the one or two you find in forums. Mostly they are very helpful, the problem is, newbies to linux. As for legacy hardware, try my 1999 compaq laptop with 256k ram and a 10gig HD running recent release linux very successfully.
Try running windows on that machine and see how you go. This thread has brought forward some interesting things, especially what you have to do to dual boot using windows, compared to in the past. From easy to hard.
