Editorial To me, it's a miracle how every tiny article on OSNews.com, or any other tech-site, ends up in people shouting all sorts of nonsense at each other like "Linux is gonna bring back Elvis", "Windows shot president Kennedy", "Linux kept the cold war cold" or "Bill Gates wants to buy the moon and charge people for looking at it". Do these people really know what they are saying, or are they just going with the Open-Source flow? Update: Rebuttal article here.

Linux for the masses

Honestly, who really wants Linux for the masses? I mean why is it an OS has to be usable by people who don't want to think a minute about how computing actually works.
Linux is great at what it does and keeps improving rapidly. But the idea of a dumbed down Linux is just crazy. I am sick of all this Linux needs to do this... nonsense. If you don't like it don't use it.
