Why do you think making something attractive for "average people" is a good idea? Look what happened with Windows 8 and Microsoft's take on the fact that everyone has the opinion of "OMG TOUCHSCREEN STUFF IS SO COOL LOL". Your "average people" don't know what they want, and only complain that their touchscreen device isn't touchy enough. Keep Linux what Linux meant to be: inaccessible to the masses, and it will keep being great.

I'm sure the NodeJs hipsters running the latest flavor of Linux with custom desktops will close out their sublime text and immediately wget that.

Linux? Too mainstream, man.

There is more to support than being stable. With SLES/SLED and RHES there is a level of engineering support you just can't get with the others. They actually pay people to help you get your app running right and they answer the phone when something breaks.

True, but you can now get "vendor" support on other distros as well. One that springs to mind is Ubuntu server edition (although as I say that I have no idea why anyone in their right mind would choose that over RHEL/SLES)

Why were those vegetables chosen instead of others? Why not radishes, etc?

Are you mad? Radishes? You need a good frost to grow radishes!

In all of your posts you haven't actually *said* what these evils that Sony have committed are. We all know what Microsoft did and what they have done in the past, but as the other poster rightly adds, a few hacks and the whole Linux on PS3 thing are the only major gaffes; unless you are privy to some information us mere mortals aren't?

Instead of fixing a bunch of hopeless code, why can't they start over the damn thing - with a properly designed paradigm ?

Paradigm is not the word you're looking for.

Then surely the solution is simple; in order to avoid the idiocy of the American legal system, move out of America. They'll be more than happy to sort their shit out when they're losing trillions of dollars in tax revenue.

Pretty much! I didn't feel like drawing out the whole chart, but props to the man who did.

In information security risk management, we are taught that there are levels of "acceptable" risk, and that this can be calculated by analysing the likelihood and magnitude of a risk. Assuming a simple "high, medium, low" categorisation, anything that is less than "medium/low" or "low/medium" can pretty much be written off in the majority of circumstances.
