Over the past few years, I’ve given a presentation that I call “Why Linux Sucks” at Linux Fest Northwest.

In that session I go over a whole mess of reasons why I feel Linux Sucks… and what steps we can take to fix those sucky parts.

This year I decided to shake it up by doing two, back-to-back, sessions:

Why Linux Sucks (As Usual) – An updated version of the presentation we all know and love.
Why Linux Does Not Suck (Not Even a Little) – Where I explain why everything I said in “Why Linux Sucks” is wrong. And then proceed to call myself a moron. Repeatedly.

You can watch youtube videos, taken from the audience, at those links above (I’ll also embed them below for good measure).

Side note: This year was a ton of fun with a great crowd (about 200-ish, I believe, for each one). Linux Fest Northwest remains
one of my favorite technology conferences – a very relaxed and friendly environment, while still being large enough (this year was
pretty packed) to have some amazing content. [More thoughts and videos on Linux Fest as soon as I get my head back on straight.]
