I DON'T KNOW

Why I use Linux and also a brief rant on the state of modern consumerism

Is this edgy enough?

I’m kicking off this wonderful mess with some half-baked writing because I’m not in much of a situation to write. I had a lot of trouble finding ideas to write about, and spent most all of my time editing the construction of the site, which is partially why it’s a mess currently. Sorry about that. So I tried writing whatever came into my head, and when that didn’t work out (I have depression) I did what most people would do in my situation and looked up RC plane information on the internet. As it turns out, you can attach cameras to these things and fly from a first-person perspective. A few hours later, while shopping for parts to build my own NSA surveillance drone, I remembered how much I hated Windows 8.

This isn't another Windows 8 rant, so don't stop reading. Even if your attention span equals a carrot.

I’m really not a big fan of the Windows user interface in general, but I usually don’t mind it that much. The operating system was designed for use in the industry; a clean user experience probably came second. But I usually didn’t care because 1. I was used to it and 2. it didn’t send videos of me sleeping to the government (that I know of). More importantly, it worked: like it was a tool I used to get stuff done.

Like I said earlier, I’m not going to go on the usual about Windows 8. You’ve probably heard it all on the internet, and they’re all more or less true. You don’t need to hear this again. I dislike Windows 8 for another reason.

I don’t like it because of the shitty tile things? No. Though they do make me cry.

Just watch this.

What the actual hell people, it’s a computer, not some facilitator for the American Lifestyle or some crap like that. This is probably a personal view, but in my opinion the modern computers just aren’t fun anymore.

I get a lot of flack from people when I tell them about how I use Linux. It's annoying because I seem to have to remember exact reasons why I like it; like I have to constantly justify why I'm not an annoying fanboy rebelling against the bigger operating systems.

It kind of seems that I’m coming out that way. You probably think that I’m some kid [], so I’m going to dedicate this paragraph to eliminating that. Let me tell you about myself. Honestly.
