Stallman was a hot topic around campus because of GCC, GDB, Emacs and GNU and was often described disparagingly but, these stories weren’t themselves often discussed (so I assumed, then, that they were basically true).

i have never understood the west-coast 1970s SOFTWARE YEARNS TO BE FREE poo poo. yeah copyright is a real hosed up system. i get that part. that makes sense. but software isn't special. software shares many properties with other copyrightable content. it is more similar than different

Okay, so apparently some GNOME sultan or whatever is posting in this thread. I have used Debian on various laptops for ten years now, but when I got a desktop for playing games and watching free porn I decided to install Ubuntu to cut down on the CJing. It's OK. I replaced Unity with GNOME and it got a little more OK I guess. HOWEVER I would never be able to use this poo poo on my work machine. It's nice that so many things just work, but is there a way to put a tiling window manager in GNOME without losing all the other nice things like automounting and whatever CJ stuff I don't really care about anymore? Manual window management sucks rear end (also WTF does GNOME terminal capture terminal shortcuts like ALT-b/ALT-f instead of passing them to the shell?).

today I watched a non nerd explaining a linux desktop to another non nerd luckily it was rhel with an oldfashioned gnome 2 desktop, so the explanation was a simple "it's basically like windows but some things are in different places, here's how you open an explorer except it's called nautilus on this" no idea how they'd have coped with the ~new ux paradigm~ circlejerk that's taken over all the fedorarchbuntus
