I hate Linux Graphics (Linux Hater's Blog)

How much of the blog have you read? Linux Hater is obviously out to criticize Linux, but most
of his rants point out real problems in the Linux world that longtime members of the community
conveniently forget about (or get used to). We need people like him to help offset
self-congratulatory groupthink. Sometimes, you really need an outsider to point out that even
though the emperor is *mostly* clothed, he really should have put on some pants this morning.

@tetromino Well said.

I would also like to add that LHB has a refreshing lack of political correctness. I sometimes
miss the days when you could be blunt? rude? honest? on the internet without everyone crying.

The blog title is probably a reference to The UNIX-HATERS handbook. Even people who like Linux hate bits of it: NotworkMangler being the top of my list.
