1) Installed Ubuntu Gnome 17.04 2) Upgraded to the proprietary NVIDIA drivers 3) Noticed a symbolic link issue with the NVIDIA drivers 4) Followed instructions to fix it from an Ubuntu group 5) The "fix" screwed everything up 6) Reinstalled the whole operating system out of a lack of interest for fixing the issue by hand (without deleting the two other partitions) 7) 10 minutes later, back to square one with all of the settings intact. 8) Awesome.

Go back to Windows.

Doomsdrzej
Nah.

Snit
Hey, Marek was TRYING to "advocate" Linux. LOL!

Marek Novotny
Correct, asking trolls to leave is better for advocating linux.

Doomsdrzej
People like me - whether you like it or not - will be a lot more effective than people like you at advocating Linux.

Snit
Not sure that is true... but asking Linux users to stop using Linux is CLEARLY horrid "advocacy".

Melzzzzz
Slimer is not Linux user ...

Based on...??? -- Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They cannot use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel somehow superior by attacking the messenger. They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again. <https://youtu.be/H4NW-Cqh308>

Dropping support for Red Hat is common sense. Over and over, the claim is he wants to "talk tech", but the guy spends most of his time whining about "obsession".

I still persist in being unpersuaded that these posts are automated.

You insisting a lie is real does not make it true. Nobody who isn't just using you for trolling purposes (isn't a troll) sees you as anything remotely close to honest. You have no one but yourself to point to for that. Having to deal with the use of Red Hat would just confuse the general user. It is obvious at least some of the posts are hand generated because some of them are direct responses in very specific ways with clear thought behind them, so not from a computer auto-generator.
