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

Marek Novotny
Except you two aren't Linux users.

Snit
Ah, before you were saying I try to tell people what to use and not use (but could find no examples), but here you are trying to define what I do and do not use, even though you have no clue.

Melzzzzz
You obviously not use Linux.

Seems pretty obvious to me too. But hey Snit, feel free to teach us something about Linux beyond the stupid shit you make videos about.

So far I taught gpg, tar, lvm, vim, tmux, socks proxy and snapshots. Snit could pick a topic and teach something Linux beyond how to right-mouse click on the desktop and create a folder.

Snit,

Show us how use Linux, Snit. Notice in my talk of TAR how I showed my actual tar backup methods. It should be clear as a bell I actually use tar to backup and showed how to restore files, directories, exclusions, redirects, all from my 38 GB tarballs.

Note my snapshot video where I showed the creating of live snapshots in Linux, and then the backup of snap shots. Note the software and hardware used to do the demo. The SAS LTO 6 and Storix app alone are around $5,000. Obviously I didn't spend $5000 to make a video. I'm showing what I actually use.

When snit shows we he uses, we get a VM running on the Mac. LOL. Yeah a real user... LOL.
