GNU/Linux is not just Ubuntu!

This is just too much. I have nothing against ubuntu in fact I'm running ubuntu on my laptop right now but in the past 2 years people have been developing an obsession with Ubuntu crowning Mark Shuttleworth as the king of the new world, they're almost like how Youssef Assad put it before

" Yay! Feisty Fawn is out! Who needs God when you got Shuttleworth! (trying to emulate braindead ubuntu freaks)"
This is really going too far. Today I started my morning routine and when I read the Free Software Magazine newsletter I found this article on Free Software Daily.
"Four Reasons to Avoid Ubuntu"

Now this is a new level of stupidity and idiocy. At first I thought that he'll talk about ubuntu specific issues BUT The brilliant author of the article listed 4 reasons why people don't generally switch to GNU/Linux making Ubuntu the ultimate one and only distro there is out there.

I'm not surprised with the low IQ of the author this article indicates but what I find surprising is how the hell did the Free Software Daily publish this and how it make it to the top stories of the week.

I'll go write an article about how my toe swells when I wear a tight shoe while using Open Suse, maybe this article will make it to the top too and get my blog some traffic.

I think it's time for me to seriously consider moving to another distro.

Remember when people referred to GNU/Linux as Red Hat, 3adi...

People tend to be stupid and make idols, they can't imagine the GNU/Linux concept, so they need a box to worship, reminds me of many examples, not only in IT world...

N.B. when you try to teach people to be smarter, they ALWAYS try to come up with something stupid to circumvent any smart solution, therefore rendering you stupid and proving your humanity

I think the community of fsdaily voted it up to point out the ignorance. All you have to do is read the comments on the article in fsdaily and you'll see what I mean.
