The problem is it goes against what GNU/Linux is supposed to be: a free and open source operating system. If that proprietary program breaks, adds or removes features, you're at the mercy of the developers, especially if that proprietary program is a driver (nVidia drivers, Catalyst, etc). If a free/open program breaks or changes features, you can fix it or the community can. There's also other issues like privacy and such which I don't really care all that much about, but there are others that do care about privacy.

I feel like GNU/Linux is supposed to be whatever the user wants it to be. And I want it to be an operating system with huge software repositories with everything that you could ever need.

I think the official Arch repositories and the AUR have accomplished just that.

And there's nothing wrong with a free and open source operating system running some proprietary software.

And yes, Nal, I am aware that Linux is only the kernel. I (and most people) just call GNU/Linux "Linux" because it's shorter and easier than saying a full acronym followed by "Linux". And pronouncing it "ganoo linux" just sounds stupid.

There needs to be a metal sonic assist trophy where he does that dash thing from Sonic CD across the stage a few times aiming at other players.

Parabola is based off of Arch and is meant to be 100% free and open source software. That's the only notable difference between Parabola and Arch.

What's wrong with proprietary closed-source software?
Do you like to edit your source code or something?

You've found the wrong friends. I'm an starfish but all my friends accept that and think it's funny.

Don't bring it here please.
People go loving nuts over it.

...Me being one of those people.

there is no need to start a discussion about this. most people don't want to know, so please don't talk about it here. there's a topic dedicated to it already.

all you had to say is that you were a brony and that could be the end of it

Anyways, we should now return to our regularly scheduled hilarity.

Guys come on. He even tried to not derail the thread. At this point, you guys are doing it by continuing to reply to him rather than continuing to tell people they are not funny.

One of my friends made this.

I think it's against the rules to post exe files on the forum.
But I may be wrong.
