Because not everyone can type SUDO SUDO SUDO over again and shit.

Macs are well known, and supposedly easy to use. Linux isn't.

um ya BSDs use different commands. They aren't the same as GNU/Linux. Similar, but not the same.

Even then, where the fuck are you getting the idea you need sudo? Very little needs to be done from the terminal nowadays, and even then you can do everything you need to by just using su and logging in as a superuser so you don't need sudo. I've never bothered with it.

And I can tell you've never even touched it. This ease of use bullshit applies to any OS with a modern GUI. Luna, Aero, Aqua, GNOME, KDE, XFCE...quite honestly I see no difference in ease of use.

I would have expected you to cover both issues. I only see one.

Don't believe me? Go get a KDE4 RC. It can be used instead of Luna or Aero on Windows.

You're still missing one thing. I guess free things just don't deserve the same attention, especially when it's users are all like you.

[Zeta]

You're an idiot if you think Linux isn't well known.

Even if it weren't, that doesn't make it crap like you say. And Linux isn't meant to be gratis, it's meant to be libre. Please learn what the free in Free Software truly means.

[Blaze-Senpai]

Why use OS X when you can use FreeBSD or GNU/Darwin for real?

Drivers.

Not everything works on Linux.

My god, why do I even try? You're an idiot.

Drivers.

Most stuff does. The only major problems right now are X-Fi and ATI cards. But AMD is allowing people to create their own drivers by releasing critical information, so the second one is null.

And Linux is not FreeBSD or GNU/Darwin. The BSDs are a completely different system than GNU/Linux, developed a different way, and hold very different freedom philosophies.

No, no, I'm an idiot, what was I thinking, going against the person who knows everything?

I'm gonna go cut myself now.

Prove me wrong, then. Let's go.

You might as well be talking to thin air, now.

[Zeta]

Yeah, but the hot air is talking back.

Or simply personal preference.

I've used plenty of the most popular OSes, but the only one I've ever truly felt comfortable with is OS X. You can say, "Oh, _____ can run _____ which makes it looks just like a Mac," but it never really feels like a Mac and of course lacks native OS X apps.

I prefer Windows XP over everything else because I'm used to it. Nothing has changed since I was using 2000 and when I movd up it was easy to do. That, and everything I use Works on Windows.

Vista is another problem though.

woah woah woah what now

Because not everyone can type SUDO SUDO SUDO over again and shit.

people who can't type four letters probably can't log in anyways

oh, and osx uses sudo, too
most sane operating systems have some sort of privilege authorization software; if you don't like administrative privileges being limited to legit users, just log in as root all the time and see what happens
