    My Last Thread/Post in this forum

    By times I like to tease a little bit and in that spirit I published the next post:
    Linux Mint 14 is of course a nice imitation of the Windows XP desktop. Zorin 6.1 again is a nice imitation of the Windows 7 desktop. Mint Mate is for the Ultra Conservatives which somewhere between 2004 and 2010 picked up the Gnome 2 desktop and want to stay with that desktop for the rest of their lives.

    The real stuff is of course Ubuntu and Unity, which will allow to serve all screen sizes from large TVs till the small smart phones. All will have the same look and feel. Even the HUD starts to make sense now for the first time, because it will be coupled with speech recognition.

    The old ages of computing brought the CLI, afterwards we had the middle ages with desktops like XP (Mint) or Win 7 (Zorin) or Gnome 2 (Mate), but now since yesterday we can see the future of computing Unity and it rocks
    There was a very normal reaction calling me a fanboy of Unity and I appreciated that, but directly after that the thread has been closed by forum staff with the following remark:

    This forum is far to seriously for me and besides the time that I have been treated as a schoolboy lies half a century back, so I will remove myself from this forum.

    The moderators have a heavy hand. Not quite in the spirit of open source. There are other forums, but on the whole this is still the place to hang out. But your experience is becoming more common.

    If you quit to avoid jerks and morons, you'll be running the rest of your life. I'm sure there are plenty of people here who could benefit from your Ubuntu experience and knowledge, I know I probably would.
