    While I'll admit I was a big fan of the Linux scene as a kid.... The rise of Apple and Google have crushed it completely. App developers aren't gonna waste there time porting over your stuff to Ubuntu. Neat.... Useless

    I used to use different versions of Linux. There's a reason it's free and no one uses it. As much as I should love Linux it's just crap. Linux is amazing... For servers.
