So you are married to Ubuntu? I don't think Ubuntu would mind.

You don't have to be totally loyal and locked down to Ubuntu. That's one the best things, open source is meant to make users free.

I'm sure Ubuntu will look the other way :-)

I am totally cheating on my straight blade screwdrivers when I tighten an imbus or philips screw.

Maybe you should be in an open relationship with Ubuntu.

Operating system promiscuity? Careful, you could catch something... like a virus or something. Just don't use Trojan horses for protection.

Stop being a drama queen. It is no big deal.

There is a FOSS equivalent for almost anything, especially if you use KDE.

More like a FOSS imitation, not quite equivalent.

I honestly have no clue what human emotion could possibly make you feel this way :|

I agree with that - why do people treat Linux like a cult?

Do what makes you have an efficient computer. In the end, that is what really matters. Most of the users I have noticed are concerned with using an operating system that they find enjoyable. I could care less if it is "free as in speech". Stuff like that just makes me annoyed of hippies.

So that's why we have global warming. And to think that we had been blaming the lack of pirates all this time.


.exe is like every other file type... It's more fun to pronounce it as a word, not as a acronym. E.G. Very exe baby

So you could say that the latest release of Ubuntu has a exe theme. So I doubt it would mind you using .exe

You are helping WINE development... Which will to help open source.
