An OS that rarely crashes, runs on most hardware (yes, even that 486 you can get cheap from a blowout sale), and is the thing the Beast of Redmond (Microsoft) fears most. It's also the cheapest OS you'll ever buy.

However, because of the nature of most (all) linux distros developers have made many different kinds of apps and games available to linux.
A technical user that understands linux can do the same things you can do on windows (even run windows apps with wine).
People that don't understand linux, and have negative comments usually refer to linux distros as versions. They are used to microsoft windows having good and bad versions. Whilst linux is an os kernel developed by people in their free time and not a huge company that decides to release their software for free, with different sites for each version and lots of http and ftp downloads on .edu servers.

Get the linux mug.The only free Kernel that can be used frequently and is consistantly updated and used by many very good universities and colleges. It is very good for word prosessing, server maintenance and will never crash unless there is a serious problem.
It is often considered 'Shit' but is one of the most stable O/S or Kernals around.

Windows user: (snort) Windows XP with the media addition aswell as Windows Media Player with a fuckload of spyware is better than the smooth running, user friendly linux.

Linux is designed for intelligent beings who can read. Often, Linux is used by morons who think after mastering the Windows XP control panel they are capabl e of using an operating system that requires one to think; this does not include morons who couldn't administrate themselves out of a brown paper bag, they then proceed to complain endlessly after getting nowhere randomly clicking around KDE.

Get the linus mug.A metal fish decal that parodies both the Christian Jesus fish and the Darwin fish that lots of people put on the back of their car. Since so few people know what Linux is, the decal confuses many passersby. It’s intentions are not as discernible as the Darwin fish so it doesn’t draw anger from Christians. It is not directly poking fun at Christians but rather it is an inside joke between Linux advocates and a snub towards Microsoft. It’s sort of a secret handshake between fellow devotees to the Linux computer operating system. It's jokingly saying that Linux can save the world.
Hey, that dude has a Linux fish on his car. He must be some kind of computer geek or something that hates Microsoft. I bet the Atheists and the Christians don't have a clue what his fish is about.
