Isn't this the same motherfucker who pranced around on stage last year, showing off his new $10k leather jacket? Seems like he doesn't actually have any financial concerns.
It's people with attitudes such as yours that give Linux a bad name. Your response to someone who's just told you that they're used to 3 different Linux DEs is that they must be a beginner and should use a beginner distro is the height of arrogance. The person you responded to is clearly not a beginner, and that's the response you have for them when they share their totally valid experience? Shameful.
I use Arch, BTW.
