I'm a long way from being an expert. I just seem to be one because I
don't use KDE or the like. Most newcomers to Linux aren't learning Linux
these days, they are learning KDE. Which is a Windows-clone interface
and no challenge at all for someone who already knows Windows.

So they come to groups like this when they have problems that point-and-click
can't solve and think that knowledge they could obtain in a 1/2 hour
of study is amazing. It is very sad.

That's exactly the bad attitude I was referring to: If you used the Gimp
and communicated with the developers about feature requests and bugs
and sent them a fraction of the money that photoshop costs you, it
would improve.

But you don't want to do your share in making Linux better, you just
want to take.

I have great music, without KDE and without Win98. How could that be?

I don't get that.

I guess you mean "distros" by "denominations". I don't care about
distros. I run Linux. Slackware happens to be the cleanest and
most efficient and easiest to run distro, so OS is based on it.

You'll be back to this and/or other Linux groups. To take and
then run off again.

Very likely posting under different names so nobody will notice
that you only take and don't give.
