And 3, don't act as if you own Linux or something. If I criticize Linux, it is my right to do so, as a user. Linux belongs to no one. No one will die, if I say that Linux needs some changes. Its just a piece of software. There is no need for anyone here to here your unbearable blabber.
I dont own anything.

And also, i make it a point to give proper answers to people who are all filled till neck with suggestions and only suggestions, and have not done anything ever to help their fellow friends learn GNU/Linux.

It doesnt take any efforts to criticize you see, but fixing those suggestions does take a helluva time and efforts.

The point is, I would shut myself up if some GNOME/KDE/Other developers flames about something in GNU/Linux.. atleast he has contributed on his part, and its his right to criticize.. You on the other hand would have never barely written a single GNU GPL code, and are all filled up with suggestions about every second thing.

Just tell me if my above question is justified or not?

IMO, "Linux enginners" have already proved their credentials by making and maintaining an OS!! People questioning their ability must prove their credential first before making statements!!

A lot of people are making & maintaining an OS. That includes Apple, Microsoft (the same MS that Linux people like to hate so much) & many others. So going by your statement, no one should question the credentials of these companies either. Which means the end of criticism & feedback.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with criticising Linux. Just like there is nothing wrong with criticising Windows or Mac OS. Its just a piece of software. Its a tool that people use to do their work. Like a pencil or a vehicle. Nothing more, nothing less.

:)) You've got good sense of humour. :|

But its one thing to criticse what people have done and another to criticse their "ethics".

I agree, there is nothing wrong in criticising Linux, Windows, Mac OS, YOU, ME, etc. Thats simply a matter of opinion.
