This man is the man who inspired things like Linux kernel, Wikipedia, Creative Commons and open source software like Firefox, LibreOffice and Thunderbird

@colderplasma Nope. I have a master's ion computer science.
I downloaded a program (I think it was Truecrypt) and tried running the install script on Lubuntu. Nothing happened. Even when the right-click dialogue gives me the "run" option nothing happened.
Then I had to drop into command line and try running it there.
The entire process was completely shitty and totally unacceptable. Linux sucks for everyone except virgin neckbeards who love the command line.

@livinglegend1187 funny, most linux distributions can install software and libraries with a single command and that's it. perhaps you're using an archaic linux distro from 99 where you had to download and build the software yourself, however, i think it's much safer to assume that you're just retarded.

richard stallman was always a great visionary

@Abon666 Linux wastes my time by sucking.
I just spent 15 minutes trying to figure out how to install a popular program because I had to use the command line to do it and I haven't memorized all the commands.

@livinglegend1187 WUT? Why does Linux waste your time and what have that to do with your freedom?
-
Linux respects my freedom.
However... I don't give a shit because Linux sucks and wastes my time. If free software wastes my time then it DOESN'T respect my freedom.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
And how long before someone will try to manipulate the free software movement to their benefit?

Free software is not about "no one benefiting" (sorry for the double negative) - the key is that the GPL license and similar mechanisms insure that the social good is maintained for the long term while allowing many to profit/benefit form the intellectual property in the short to medium term.

BTW. Just to correct you, it's not Creative Commons that he predicted, it is GFDL (GNU Free Documentation Licence). It's used as a licence that covers all the text on Wikipedia (as well as many ilustrations/photos).
