The sheer ignorance regarding casual Linux users astounds me to no end. While I'm not interested in pointing fingers, there is a lot of misinformation about the Linux community, and we will help to dispel some of these myths, once and for all.

Listen man, if you wanna talk about ignorance you're gonna have to learn what the term "ignorance" really means first.

KDE4 has a lot of hype. It is a significant change, reportedly a big jump forward. There is a lot of new technology and names: Plasma, Oxygen, Phonon, Okular, Solid and more . Depending on what you read, and where you read it, it is either the second coming of the DE Christ, or the first coming of the DE Anti-christ.

With the release of version 4.3, the majority of users finally seem to accept -- if not necessarily love -- the changes in KDE4. At this point, it seems fair to ask: How successful are the KDE 4 series of releases?

Last week I read a half-witted blog post citing “3 Reasons why we shouldn’t use Linux”.

TechBirdy’s reasons are either born out of complete ignorance, or from a desire to spread pure FUD.

Being a Linux user, I thought: what are some good reasons to not use Linux? The following are the best reasons I could come up with.

Lately it seems there’s a lot of hatred directed at Linux. I hear it on certain podcasts, read it on certain blogs and read it in certain articles. Some of these haters are feeling the heat of more and more people switching to Linux. Most of them make their livelihoods sucking on the Windows tit. They feel threatened and scared. It’s the human reaction of your world crumbling around you.

I hate the internal beep speaker. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it. Okay, maybe not that much hate, but I really don’t like having it enabled. It beeps anytime the terminal cursor goes in the wrong direction. Or if the sound isn’t working quite right when I’m setting things up. Or if it’s time to put another quarter in the dryer. It’s just a nuisance.

I don’t hate Ubuntu (or Linux for that matter), I just have a long list of things that I hate about it. I assure you, my list of things I hate about windows is much longer.

One of the things that's been frustrating me a lot lately is all the negative press about KDE4. And the Gnome fanboys have been having a blast with it. I want to state explicitly here and now, STOP PICKING ON KDE4!!
