   @reality Well, I consider myself almost exclusive !linux user, but I DO use #win when I'm obliged to ...

     @nitrofurano Based on simple geometry, http://tr.im/qsis only people with good posture are normal. Linux users often slouch.

     @nitrofurano I personally know many ordinary people that use !gnu !linux Not as many as #Windows users, but quite enough ...

     @firusvg If by normal you mean infected with an evil plague then yes ;)

     @reality ;) No, I really meant people that not considered neither power users nor geeks ...

     @reality When I said obliged - I meant by company policy, client requests, etc.

     @firusvg - This is good! I also try to do my part helping #averagejoe people see !gnu !linux is as simple to use as #msWindows, even more!

   • Remy Porter Paulo

     @nitrofurano #msWindows is very hostile to users. While #linux often ignores usability, Windows tries to beat it to death.

     @nitrofurano Things like Akonadi crashes in kde4 will keep most people from Linux, maybe new users should stick with kde3 or try Gnome

     @pollywog - i just loved when !LXDE appeared on #netbooks - it was simple, light, fast, stable - newbies liked that - i'm using it a lot!

     @pollywog even not very !KDE fan after v2.0, i learn respect it a lot from !Tokamak meetings - lots of coding effort and enthusiasm there...

     @firusvg @bigbrovar I've decided I won't run #MsWindows on another machine I have. But, I own an xbox360 so it doesn't run linux. Yet.

   • Pollywog Paulo

     @nitrofurano I thought Tokamak was an old particle accelerator. Will need to find out more about it.

     @ragnarokangel I didnt really make a decision not to run windows, i just realised i didnt need it..

   • JP Russell bigbrovar

     @bigbrovar Exactly what happened here. Had an old laptop that I slapped #xubuntu on and I started using in more than my new one.

     @bigbrovar After I realized that, I reparted and saved my Vista and put on #ubuntu. When I wiped my drive, I realized there was no more need

     RT @pollywog I thought !Tokamak was an old particle accelerator. Will need to find out more about it. !KDE

     @pollywog i had no idea !Tokamak were old particle accelerator - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokamak - yes, related to !plasma :)

   • Pollywog Paulo

     @nitrofurano thanks... it was a magnetic bottle for plasma, not an accelerator as I said earlier.

     @t3knomanser - i used to have #MacOS as reference, mostly Classic, but #OSX killed #Rhapsody and #NeXTStep - and all not open as !GNU !Linux

   • Paulo Pollywog

     @pollywog you welcome, i didn't know as well...

     @nitrofurano #OSX is open enough for my purposes. I could switch to #Darwin tomorrow, but I'd lose all the awesome APIs.

   • Paulo GNU's Not Unix , Linux , Remy Porter

     @t3knomanser wondered were on things are so easy on !GNU !Linux are terribly difficult on #OSX, like scripting or relating GUI with terminal
