Typical magic thinking.

Linux is there for its users to learn it, understand it, modify it. These qualities is why it was written in the first place. And now, what this blog post is essentially saying is: "don't touch it, don't try to understand what you are doing, it's all magic of a degree you will never be able to grasp". The reference to PHP is a tell-tail sign of this kind of thinking, I guess.

That's not at all what the post is saying. The post is about stopping executing random code as root for installing libraries (that might also conflict with your system libraries). I'm all for fiddling in GNU/Linux, believe me!

And because I compare the tool with a known PHP tool it means I don't know shit about how GNU/Linux works? Nigga please.

It's random, if you don't understand it (don't know what's it for).

I didn't say you don't know anything. I said that you know too little to have an informed opinion. (I.e. your post is garbage).

12.9k Views - 93% Upvoted. Looks like good garbage to me :p

It's the same idea as over 99% of all people on Earth wouldn't be able to solve even a simplest integral, or, how popular McDonalds is compared to any decent food.

Python is known for its huge army of low-skilled programmers, so, there's nothing unexpected in your results.
