God dammit I hate "nerd" and "techy" (sic) culture. How can they prattle on about this garbage? Chad should have ended these people's lives, shoving them into lockers was clearly not enough.

Ubuntu is a Zulu word that means unity, Shuttleworth himself is a white South African so maybe this is related.

Niggers like Linux because its free and they're not smart enough to pirate Windows lmao

>Is Africa the future of open source?

All questions in headlines can be answered with no.

>>968029 (OP)

Not immediately. As Africans gain more access to the internet, it'll be through mobile devices at first.

I think how common linux is in Africa depends on how much Microsoft tries to push their products. There are a couple of barriers for Microsoft though, mainly how fast and reliable the internet is. If it's slow and unreliable (which it currently is), the frequent updates and cloud will be less appealing to consumers. And the Microsoft Managed Desktop won't be attractive to businesses. They have built two data centers in south Africa though so it's not all good news.

They're probably more educated in white European culture than white Europeans. We've officially entered bizzarro world.

Never change Africa.

>>968471

Kenya isn't a dictatorship.

>>968504

Many African nations aren't dictatorships in name, but are extremely corrupt and will have the same president for years upon years.

Also, there might be some truth to his story.

I understand being fed up with forced diversity in western world, but how is Kenyan gnu/linux users group not a good thing? Why is this worth a thread?

>>968521

> truth to his story

I spent a small fraction of my childhood in Gabon, and it was mandatory that we have a photo of President Bongo (real name) in our home.

>Bongo headed the single-party regime of the Gabonese Democratic Party (PDG) until 1990

Democracy in Africa is a joke that not even the lowIQ inhabitants believe in.

>>968529

The OP didn't imply that it was a bad thing, but you did.

>>968529

You're seeing the cognitive dissonance between (1) a feeling of racial superiority and (2) the belief that using GNU/Linux makes you superior.

>>968542

>leftist using the cognitive dissonance expression

Keep entertaining, monkey.

kill all niggers

>>968529

It is a good thing, OP is just racist.

As someone who was born early enough to enjoy the great Linux age of the mid-90s, they actually look cool-- certainly better than us fatarses at HUMBUG who do a group crash at Pizza Hut. Their shirts are cleaner, too.

I envy how they very likely don't have Furries running around over there. Fuckdamn those guys were a pain with their cartoon porn on the LAN.

nearly shat myself laughing

Isn't Kenya the Canada of Africa?
