  • COLA Assholes Vs Newbie

    From Distro Lackey@dl@lackey.com to comp.os.linux.advocacy on Thu Jul 2 20:05:50 2026
    From Newsgroup: comp.os.linux.advocacy

    A sincere newbie comes to COLA to discover why GNU/Linux
    is superior.

    Newbie: Hello. I want to convert to GNU/Linux. Can you
    tell me in technical terms why GNU/Linux is superior?

    COLA Asshole 1: Duh, duh, the fuck if I know. I just presses
    the pretty ersatz buttons on my GNOME/KDE and it does
    everything for me, except wipe my ass.

    COLA Asshole 2: Duh, duh, just press the pretty ersatz buttons.
    That's what they're there for. Duh, duh.

    Newbie: I believe that I've stumbled upon a nest of retards.
    Fuck you all. I'll stick to Micro$lop Winblows.

    What makes you think any newbies are coming here? They're on Reddit.
    We're old people, bantering about OSes and politics.

    Reddit expands the distro bickering without even involving Windows or
    Apple products to say nothing of the discussions of the DEs available
    within one distro.

    At least they are not as bad as the local subreddit which reflects the mentality of the denizens in a little blue blemish on a red state.

    It is not directly related to cola, but in my famous monograph under
    polish title "Konf. i Zabezp. Sys. Op. z Rodz. Ubuntu" (in Eng. "Config
    and Protection of Ubuntu Family OS"), available for free (as in free
    beer) from my WWW home site:

    <https://energokod.gda.pl/monografie/Konf.%20i%20Zabezp.%20Sys.%20Op.%20z%20Rodz.%20Ubuntu.pdf>

    , I have entirely ZERO screenshots (the only image is my logo), but I
    have plethora text commands. These text commands are expected to be
    executed in the Linux console (or in terminal emulator).
    So I follow your and other "true Linux hackers" expectations.

    Good!

    Let these fogies get out of COLA and find their nirvana in some
    on-line Bingo game or equivalent.

    Better yet, let them take a cue from that degenerate Jeff Relf and
    drop dead.

    COLA is for GNU/Linux *advocacy*. All those who cannot adhere
    to this theme had better get the fuck out and stay the fuck out.

    The Internet/Usenet was created by gentlemen for gentlemen --
    and a true fucking gentlemen always obeys the established dictums.
