Well, I'm Ingemar... and unless specified, most of the content on the TOMKYOU blog will be about an orange catman. The profile and the INGEMAR blog will be exclusively about me, the non-catman.

"Linux Users" are Assholes

I say "Linux user" in quotes because I know more than a handful of people who are nice Linux users. What I mean by "Linux user" is the kind of person who wears a penguin t-shirt and sprinkles a bunch of technical lingo in everyday parlance. This kind of person also tends to wear horn-rimmed glasses, is rebellious in a very conformist sort of way and hates George W. Bush (I don't like him either, but typically conservatives and libertarians except Vox Day tend to be less bombastic in their criticism of him).

Why are "Linux users" such assholes? Hell if I know. But they believe that their beloved little kernel is the shit of the computing world. And they make their opinions known. And they denounce everything and everyone that don't conform to their narrow world view. I think "Linux users" outclass rednecks and fundamentalist Muslims in intolerance.

Supposedly, with Linux one could do a lot more things with a computer than if one simply had a PC or Mac. I don't know, and frankly I don't care. I only need my computer to do homework, blog, chat, look at porn and watch movies and listen to music. But from what I have seen and heard of Linux, it is a total bear and user-unfriendly. It's one of those things with massive amounts of lines and codes and a bunch of crap that only pale, horn rimmed spectale-wearing, punk music listening geeks with no social life can decipher. It doesn't matter to them that there are people who don't care for all those difficult things and would rather use Windows or MacOS to get the job done. But I guess since they can do things which are tedious and difficult for the vast majority of the population, they consider themselves superior.

I believe the reason they want to take down Microsoft is because they want to go back to a time when computers were inaccessible to the general populace and maintain an oligarchy on information flow.
