    That is why GNU/Linux. with its non-standardized assortments of

    Those aren't contradictions, dude, they're entirely different contexts.
    I actually agree with the nutjob, on that. If you want canned
    GUI-centric crapware, MS has your back. If you want freedom, Linux does.

    You're flailing at a strawman. Everyone knows about his bullshit.

    On occasion, he provides some useful insights nonetheless.

    Once upon a time there was a kingdom ruled by a great bear. The peasants
    were not very rich, and one of the few ways to become at all wealthy was
    to become a Royal Knight. This required an interview with the bear. If
    the bear liked you, you were knighted on the spot. If not, the bear would
    just as likely remove your head with one swat of a paw. However, the family
    of these unfortunate would-be knights was compensated with a beautiful
    sheepdog from the royal kennels, which was itself a fairly valuable
    possession. And the moral of the story is:

    The mourning after a terrible knight, nothing beats the dog of the bear that hit you.
