not funny if april fools joke

[chasha420]

It seems that some users here cannot take jokes lightly. Maybe there should be a slightly more serious version of Sabayon (with other changes like slightly delayed packages and no jokes) that can be used in a formal setting.

What do u mean by

serious version of Sabayon

? What is a serious distro in your opinion? Buntu?

I like Sabayon the way it is...and the fact that the devs seriously listen & care about users opinion...not to mention awesome forum & out of box support.

To me it seems that the programme lacks a useful set of error messages.

It is funny to read it once , but it takes some time to learn to ignore the output because it is only stating the obvious (do it once again and read the manual). That is the annoying part .

By the way: You can end every discussion with arguments like "They only jealous, they have no humour, they will never understand ..." if you like not to discuss something.

Yeah, let's make a Sad version of Sabayon and a Depressed one!
You have no idea how close I was to die laughing on this message!
I have tried to update several times that day, just to see the evil message!

Now, *seriously*, I was working for a German company making wire harnesses for almost all German brands and more.
There, all the software development department believed a 1st April joke saying to delete a file (related to Windows spooling because it is a virus. The joke came from a sys admin. Almost everybody erased the file, exept few. And they were IT pros. Imagine some 'regular' users...

Thinking about what linux was and what it became, I see outstanding improvments, compared to early years, but with the cost of losing humor. I still want and need to see fun in it, this kind of jokes, maybe followed by some disclaimer, like a 'just kidding' message after. I see peeople removing sugar and spices - sometimes related to the reduced development power - as in the KDE effects case (I still miss the snow effect, I would make it work if I know how) or screensaver funcion under KDE (there is a poll on that, whether to keep it or not). In the end, we might find Windows has more fun...

Yes, it is great fun to lie to someone when he believes it. Imagine, some people really trust other people ... How funny. Even IT admins ...
Let's be serious: You can trust noone, do you trust Windows? No. Why do you trust Linux? In the end, Linux could become like Windows - what a joy.

Back to topic:
Whe are only human, but in the meantime, at least the output of equo has much improved and is(!) helpful in case you enter something useless.
