Rant 1, Nickname of opensource

whoever started calling opensource software free software is fucking retarded, how the fuck do you think you're going to get new users if you call your software not-free, you say closed source not not-free, what the fuck, who the fuck cares anyways if it's closed source? let's say the nvidia driver, a tool tip came up to tell me i should install the non-free nvidia driver. if i were a new user i would have gone, oh you have to pay money for this software?? fuck that! i can get that on windows for free!


Rant 2, Unity (DE)

dear ubuntu devs, *ahem*, what the fuck were you thinking when you moved a netbook DE to a desktop operating system, i mean seriously, if anyone was around when ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10 was out you saw unity, and you would have laughed at it, as it looked bad to begin with, so i don't know who came up with the good idea to make it the default desktop environment, as it's big buttons are made for netbooks with touchpads, and i love how it was ported into 3d to make it perform EVEN WORSE!


Rant 3, Unity and Gnome 3

the new desktop ebv environments are complete ass, unity, gnome 3, whatever else there is can suck my nuts. why the fuck would you model a desktop environt after a phone gui, what the fuck were you guys thinking? "oh this works great on my phone man, LETS MAKE IT FOR THE PC! and you know what? fuck the choice! let's just make it the new version with no other derivitaves!" i mean seriously, what the fuck were you thinking when you make it so that there are huge buttons (bigger than the windows7 superbar buttons) are taking up 1/8th the screen?? and not only that! but not even try to make it look like a full desktop and still keep the normal gnome panel that it was built off of! i mean what the fuck, not only that but it doesn't even fully function with the desktop environment it was built off of *COUGHUNITY* why not put everything in the, i don't know, MENU YOU ADDED, and same with gnome 3-4, there are so many "extensions" for where you can put your mouse it's rediculous, i think the developers of the 2 "major" (not kde) desktop environments need to take their mouses, gesture them, and shove them up their asses.


Rant 4, Radeon/ATI

Dear radeon developers, no fuck that, dear ATI in general,

what the fuck is wrong with you? you have not developed new drivers for your video cards in the last year, you know people have actually been dropping you're brand to switch to nvidia because your driver support is so bad? seriously get your shit together! i used to have an old agp hd 3650 with the "latest" drivers that worked perfectly in windows, fuck i could even play tf2 with that piece of fucking shit, but FUCK THAT! lets make the whole desktop lag in linux! the problem was i couldn't turn off dynamic clocking in linux because their shit bag drivers didn't let me, all i could do was over clock the high end part, so all i could do to get the driver to set it to the NORMAL clock is run a game in the background or run glx-gears 8-10 times. i also notice people today can't even fucking boot into linux because your driver support is so bad!

have fun losing customers
-me


Rant 5, Kernel Drivers

has anyone ever noticed that ubuntu and other major distros are getting slower? you know why? because the actual kernel contains the drivers. no i'm serious, stop laughing. when you build a kernel for linux you put the drivers in the kernel. WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU DO THAT?! why not have the drivers (not the normal ones for booting but major ones like mouse and keyboard and wifi shit) in a folder?! WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU THINKING? having a kernel so bloated that it actually performs worse than the kernel/OS you're trying to compete with is fucking ridiculous! why haven't you guys developed the ability for normal drivers to be loaded up instead of JAMMED inside of the kernel?! wtf were you guys thinking?!


Rant 6, BSD and Linux

now pcbsd netbsd bsdbsd developers, good job! good fucking job! you've made an operating system that works great! i mean i FUCKING love it! too bad you guys don't have a huge variety of software like linux does, i mean it's pretty big but it's not huge, missing unetbootin, gparted, ark (that actually works) and some other key things. but it's great! now i may ask, WHY THE FUCK are all the "linux fanboys" defending linux when bsd out-performs it?? when it FUCKING OUTPERFORMS WINDOWS?! when a game that runs at 140fps on windows, and 80fps on linux, performs at 290fps on bsd you know there's a problem. when you have a file system that is used on solaris and it hasn't come onto linux yet then the only thing to blame could be ignorance. why don't people push linux instead?? wtf if bsd became as popular as linux then you BET windows/mac would be getting a run for it's money! also there would be a lot more games/apps on bsd because, you know, THE OPERATING SYSTEM ACTUALLY PERFORMS GOOD. HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM. the next time i see a linux fanboy boasting about linux i'm going to take the pcbsd bible and cram it down his/her throat


Rant 7, Linux Distros

why are there so many linux distros? WHY? seriously, there's a website with the top 100 linux distros that day, i'm not kidding, go to distrowatch.com or whatever to see them. WHY are people making so many linux distros?? i mean i can see if you have special features you want to add in, like chromeOS, or pearOS, or ease of use like zorinOS, but why just rearange the desktops and then have an iso to download with very little difference in software selection? i mean seriously! and you ever notice how they all end in OS? i mean there's not ubuntuOS or fuduntuOS or redhatOS or buttcheeksOS so wtf mang?! WHY DO YOU HAVE TO PUT "OS" at the end of your operating system's name?? "hmmmmm wtf is this?? 'based on linux'?? i don't know what this 'goopoopoo' thing is... OH! i see! it's goopoopooOS! ahh let me give that a try!"

seriously


Rant 8, Package Managers

why are there different package managers?? i mean look at windows, it's got .exe .msi and .buttcheeks, but they all work with the operating system. if i use a .rpm file on a .deb distro the OS is just like "dude, wtf is this shit?!" and i have to use a converter to conver .rmp's to .deb's but there's not even a converter to convert .deb's to .rmp's?? WTF. why is this even an issue?! i mean then we have the "new" package managers that use fucking random file extensions that don't even seem to ..make ..sense?? .poop and .piss and you have to run them with the "super unzipper 900" then convert them with a mcl file converter to a .bin file then open those up and install them with synaptic but you have to install synaptic the same way and it's really just fucking annoying and unnecessary. i mean i love .rpm's and .deb's but it's just bullshit they don't fucking work in the same package manager


Rant 9, FOSS Licensing

when people who make FOSS software tell me to know my rights, that's just rediculous. "ALRIGHT, we're letting you guys download this software, you can distribut it, you can sell it, you just cannot change it at all." i mean that's not even open source, that's just being an asshole. if you look up all the fucking creative commons liscences it gets rediculous, i mean if you're going to dibby into messing with opensource software you have to get up your little hand book of liscenses and then look at what kind it is, and what version it is, then check if it's even legally pushable anymore, it's just so fucking rediculous. if you really want to make an opensource app or ANYTHING for that matter and you really want to make it opensource, stop being a little bitch and let people do whatever the fuck they want with your software, and i fucking love when foss "enthusiasts" get crazy about it, like "ALRIGHT MANG, you know, you can change this, you can put viruses on it, you can redistibute, sell, smoke, snort whatever with this software, but if you don't include the source code with distributing it, you're gonna get a time out" like SERIOUSLY, why the fuck do i need to distribute the source code of the app? you're the one who released the app with the source, i can do whatever the fuck i want with it, in fact if you really fucking care, i'll just rewrite the game to delete the source when they start the app.

it's really, really stupid
