After playing with DOS, Windows 3.11, the 1st Mac OSes, all the different windows versions, different Ubuntu distros, I need to share the following.
If someone does not like trying new things and/or is not open mind to getting used to a new or different way of achieving the same goal, he should stick to whatever operating system he had LOL Period
Again today,I was making fun of Synaptics Software manager ( that most Linux distros have been using for years)... Who am I to say this tool is archaic and does not work well if I didn't take 5 minutes to learn it !!!
Good manners apply to the internet too
In real life, If we were to visit someone else house as a guest or another country ( the last one is a better analogy), we would usually ask questions, listen to people, try to understand how they do things and why they do it this way and if we don't feel comfortable with their philosophy or culture, it would be stupid to " pissed them off" asking them to change the way they do things, tell them they are stupid / idiots, to change the language they speak, ask them to change their traditions...
If we don't like it, we just have to leave and go back home (to our old Home/OS).
About ELIVE or any new OS you try
When we're trying a new operating system, it is " NORMAL !!! " to sometime have to look everywhere to find how to do something using different methods (that could end up being more efficient with better results).
I consider myself someone with a smooth and nice approach to life, with people but, even a negative person would say the same LOL At some point, even a stupid person, will think he's good, he's right!
Since day 1, I " sometime" complained about this and that to @Thanatermesis and 9 times out of 10, I finally discovered that the Elive's way of doing it, after I got used to it, was very very often easier, faster more efficient.... Not always but most of the time
As a former user of several OSes mentioned above and after trying several distros, among them Ubuntu, Mint, Budgie that I loved, and several others.
Again I will say it , now that i know how to use it " Don't remove Elive from my main Desktop that I use for work and for fun " or I will bite you
From the way you take a screen capture, configure your screen, configure your audio, open an app, change Virtual Desktop ( WorkSpace), install or remove something, I promise that if you give yourself time, Elive will become your home.... Not for all of you, I am not insane, but for a lot of you...
I strongly recommend that we all behave as gentlemen on Planet Elive forum and before blaming someone or something, start by politely ask questions...
JF
Tks to everybody who collaborated to the Elive project during all those years, I sincerely intend to be one of your many ambassadors to come on the internet and I wil be proud of it... Elive is now my baby....
A special thinks to you @Thanatermesis , for your STUPID emoticons, your imported from the old forum, I am slowly become addicted to them
