- inactive, on 06/21/2008, -1/+32Failed kernel compilations
When you need wine to work and it doesn't
When a distros audio setup is so bad you just scrap the whole ***** thing
When Firefox freezes up your whole box for 15 seconds
When konqueror won't load web pages
When you can't get your icons to show up
When you can't get X11 to start up
When hardware acceleration just won't work.
That's pretty much all of the problems i've ever heard any other Linux user have including myself minus wireless networking (but I don't know what kinds of rediculess annoying things could happen there.)
Half of these are a product of user error... the NVidia ones you can't blaim the user for because nobody should be expected to know how to use Bash to install NVidia drivers, though I was able to get someone through it by just sending him the commands needed. ATI card users may be able to complain depending on what exactly happened. It really matters. I have the personal opinion that X11 sucks for Desktop usage.
(by user error, i mean messing up things themselves by doing something the wrong way, especially relating to package management) - glinsvad, on 06/21/2008, -4/+28Congratulations! Your comment meets the following criteria:

gegls from outer space - stanleyford, on 06/21/2008, -0/+20"better replace ; with &&, or it's rape" -- That is the most subtly funny comment I've ever read on Digg.
- NotOptium, on 06/21/2008, -0/+19Yeah, if you use Linux while listening to Pink Floyd, ***** gets crazy!
- sargentcrackers, on 06/21/2008, -0/+18Dugg for the free fish swimming around my screen..

- gitboxgreg, on 06/21/2008, -0/+16how do i make the fish stop?!
- Darkx1337, on 06/21/2008, -1/+16Your an idiot. Your first problem is that you tried to run a windows program. And the terminal is superior!!!! Stop trolling.

- Jonez176, on 06/21/2008, -1/+14Hm... Now what process is associated with this fish floating around on my screen?
- inactive, on 06/21/2008, -0/+12proof that you should trap errors and not spew database formats and other things that give cross site scripters ideas.

- bluechips23, on 06/21/2008, -0/+10If you are using Ubuntu, then sudo killall gnome-panel
It will kill the gnome-panel and the little fish, and the gnome-panel will restart automatically. - silfiriel, on 06/21/2008, -0/+10to stop the fish:
Alt+F2 then write
killall gnome-panel - MKdx, on 06/21/2008, -0/+10Alt+F2

- VKMO, on 06/21/2008, -3/+12These are fun! I used to date the then-editor of the Linux Journal; I often attended Linux conventions with him. and It's a fascinating subculture.
- inactive, on 06/21/2008, -3/+12LMAO yeah lets go play counterstrike and beat linux n00bs lviing in they're mothers basements

Or you know, you could grow the ***** up. - omgoptimized, on 06/21/2008, -0/+8You are not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.

- curupira, on 06/21/2008, -0/+7Well, for a start, Linux is obviously for supervillains.
- 4321234, on 06/21/2008, -0/+7Six fascists enter a linux thread.....Oh, sorry. You said communist jokes.........
- Phocion55, on 06/21/2008, -0/+7And my block list keeps on growing......

- SystemError51, on 06/21/2008, -0/+6The comments in the Linux kernel are cool... but at least equally as cool are the comments in the leaked part of the Windows 2000 source code

- inactive, on 06/21/2008, -2/+8Darth Vadux the newest distro for those wishing to join the dark side.
- MWeather, on 06/21/2008, -0/+5Pushing buttons and yanking out disks won't mess up Linux. Editing config files will, though it's a lot harder to mess up your Linux box by editing configs than it is to mess up Windows by editing the registry.
- Hangly, on 06/21/2008, -0/+5If you kill the fish I am so reporting you to PETA.
- TGMD, on 06/21/2008, -3/+8What about the dark side of linux?!
... is linux my father!? - inactive, on 06/21/2008, -1/+6Hah, When i need a laugh i go to digg and listen to rediculess trolls. And they make so little sense, it really does make my day. You're making Linux users look better by being so ignorant and redundant. Thank you ;) Because of posts like these, Now a friend who was previously bent on thinking annoying Ubuntu users justified not trying Linux is considering trying it.
- possiblyneil, on 06/21/2008, -1/+6Sudo make me a sandwich.
- danfive555, on 06/21/2008, -15/+20Excellent compilation of fun facts about linux. Everyone should read it.
