Well, did you expect to see a "WARNING! WE NOW WILL ATTEMPT A POTENTIALLY OFFESIVE JOKE" written in red print? Those things are supposed to be spontaneous, you know.

Believe me, friend, I have experienced discrimination. My entire family has. They have been driven away from their home because of their nationality. Then I was mocked and humiliated by other kids as the-kid-who-cant-speak-our-language. Then there was the high school and all the "nice" things it holds for the nerds. It might well be that I have experienced more discrimination than some of the furiously anti-sexist people here. Yet I don't have anything against racial, sexist, religious or other kinds of "sensitive" jokes. They are jokes. They are not meant to be taken seriously. It's OK to laugh at them if you find them funny. If you don't, shut up and let other people laugh. Don't be a self-important asshole. After all, your precious nationality/religion/sex/sexual orientation is worth exactly nothing.

So? It's not hurting anyone. You know, there is a difference between an ad for a geek event that no one cares about and a woman not getting a job because she's a woman. These are not the same things.

This was not sexism. It was a poor attempt at humour.

I think some people should loosen up. Yes, it's a bad unfunny joke. But it's not that big a deal.

I have a feeling of deja vu, I think I've seen this link here on HN before.

1.5 years on Arch here and I pretty much refuse to use any other distro on my laptop. Great work.

>Linux won't be ready until you can download a file from the Internet, run it, and install it just with a couple clicks (and not "you need to set the 'exectuable' flag!" error).

That way of installing software has to go. Seriously. Stop it. It's horrible.

Oh my god, this is so sad. What has the Linux-on-desktop world come to? "You can manage your windows with it" is actually an advantage.

On a lighter note, if there is still hope, it lies in the little not-so-popular desktop environments like XFCE. Those both have sane UI and are not ugly pieces of bloatware.

I want to see a video demo of it!
