maximilln's Journal: The world is ending

I don't really have a problem with people installing Linux just as an average user and getting an easy install. What I worry about is that, due to the top-down corporate Big Brother iron fist that rules our society, when BigBrotherEasyInstallLinux becomes popularly accepted (and funded through lucrative and huge government partnerships), will Debian be made illegal because it's different? If BBEI-Linux is easy to install, easy to use, and what the population is familiar with then the logical next question for the clueless majority is: "Why would anyone want to use Debian if it's difficult to install and maintain?" The logical next answer from the clueless majority is: *in low tones* "It's a _hacker_ distribution. They're doing things they shouldn't be doing."

Someone commented that I'm obsessed with the hacker mythos. Okay, maybe I am a little. But to appease the trolls we'll do it this way:

The logical next question for the clueless majority is: "Why would anyone want to use Debian if it's difficult to install and maintain?" The logical next answer from the clueless majority is: "They wouldn't. Therefore they don't need to because we don't see a need for them to. Therefore anyone who is must be bad because we don't see a need for them to use it. Therefore we will make it illegal (or file some willy-nilly intellectual property infringement suit against them) because we don't see why they aren't using BigBrotherEasyInstall-Linux."

So you see, once the population has EasyInstallBigBrother-Linux, water-cooler gossips will come to kill Debian.

It would be better for the world to end.
