If that's the case, I have to say that for the political views of many people, an LGBT flag is as disrespectful or dangerous to society as a swastika can be to any individual or group. Being unable to see that just proves further that reddit admins are biased.

I'm not trying to convince anybody of anything; everybody has their own views and trying to change them over the internet is a waste of time. So this off-topic for me ends here.

You can still do that using msg.exe

If you are reading this: I installed Fedora recently because I wanted to try it and I found the partitioning process to be absurdly complicated, compared to that of Debian or Ubuntu (ubiquity). I have several partitions of several operating systems in this disk and I was hesitant to continue because it wasn't very clear what the partitioner was about to do with my disk. Unfortunately that was months ago so I can't really describe what the problems were.

The point of the "Linux on the desktop" meme was that everybody would start using free, preferently GPL'd software for everything. Android is far away from that.

Sending an MMS is very expensive and many people don't even bother to configure their mobiles to send them because they've never used them.

I am not being sarcastic and I use it and I have used it for years. I consider myself a "hardcore greybeard", or a neckbeard, which is what you actually meant ;P

I don't agree with the support thing though. Most Gentoo users are knowledgeable; developers are always on irc/forums lending support; certain commands such as `emerge --info' make it easy to figure out what the state of the machine is regarding flags/masks.

My recommendation for any kind of serious desktop use is always Gentoo. Problems like the one you mention are much easier to solve when you can pick which versions of all packages to install and which kernel flags to enable.
