RE: Classic case of why Linux ultimately must fail

OK, here is one huge annoyance of Linux which relates this thread with
the list: Linux geeks believing they have the truth. Linux gurus
explaining to the world the Holy word. All that bullshit the original
poster was referring to is VERY annoying.

What people who use Linux should do with people annoyed like the
original poster is ask them not to leave Linux forums and show them a
smile instead of all the despise and all the wrath against Windows,
Microsoft, propietary software, etc. you are so fond of. All that MS
bashing is showing a big complex of inferiority in this community which
is itself another huge Linux annoyance.

I believe these two annoyances alone are enough to keep soooo many
people away from Linux.
