    And since 1992 people have been claiming every year that this is the year of Linux on the desktop.

      This year is the year. All you have to do is switch. With products like Ubuntu, there’s no reason not to. It. Just. Works.

        Now there’s lih-nux or lie-nux I don’t know how you say it Or how you install it, or use it, or play it Or where you download it, or what programs run But lih-nux, or lie-nux, don’t look like much fun

        However you say it, it’s getting great press Though how it survives is anyone’s guess If you ask me, it’s a great big mess For elitist, nerdy shmucks

        “It’s free!” they say, if you can get it to run The Geeks say, “Hey, that’s half the fun!” Yeah, but I got a girlfriend, and things to get done The Linux OS SUCKS (I’m sorry to say it, but it does.)

        And I’ll just sit there and watch my OS since I’ll have no software to run. No thanks.

    The choice of pictures accompanying this article is somewhat disturbing. First is a windows desktop with a penguin on top, the second is a gnome app launcher exclusively showing android apps.

      Ahh, classical Torvalds’ buttburning. So sad I don’t see it anymore
