LinuxHater's just trying to point out some of the mad stuff we need to fix so that folks who don't want to learn to love the command line can learn to love linux too. Printers have been diabolical to set up in unix & linux forever! (PS: man-in-the-street can't administer any OS that's why they need all the help they can get)
Exactly. Linux hater shows the things Linux apps need to fix so that Linux can become a desktop OS for mainstream people (beyond the limited eeePC-type environments), and that everyone else can get the hardware and app support they want as a result.
I love the site, and I suspect the people who react badly to it are those that don't actually know as much about the platform as the author does.
Maybe I should set up a blog called 'FreeBSD Haters', the first post could be on why getting a printer to work is so hard, and the second on why Firefox doesn't work properly...
