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.

Nah.

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.

Marek Novotny
In your dreams. When you think you can match me at even 10% you make a video and try to teach ANY linux subject you like. I'll laugh my ass off. You can't even roll back a driver without crying.

I never said that I knew more than you. The reason I'd be more effective than you is because I actually SYMPATHIZE with the common man and would be willing to introduce the system as an alternative GUI rather than an alternative lifestyle. I would focus on security, privacy and show how their usual tasks can be done effectively (and freely) in Linux rather than show them how to do neat tricks using the CLI.

Stop freaking out and thinking that I'm constantly insulting you. I'm just pointing out what I consider to be a truth. As a general user, I would be more effective at attractive general users. It's common sense.
