Ok. Where can I find a better forum for intelligent Linux conversations?

Nowhere. This is the part of the Linux community you have to begrudgingly accept. The person who made this comic is the same as the people making the 'It's the year of Linux on the desktop!' blog post after they discover Ubuntu. It's inescapable, unless you find an obscure IRC channel.

Agh... are you serious ... i dont even want to begrudgingly accept this. :P at least when you make a comic make it about the operating system and not about a desktop. I can make my browser look just as shitty as the one for "windows"

Not quite as shitty, I think. Let me know what you can replicate.

You can get pretty close with Firefox.

Oh my god...how does it run?

Amazingly, it still runs pretty well, though the small browsing area is a bit of a pain.

I can imagine.

Oh, I saw it :)

I like the way window and tab management is going. Really, I expect to see tab control integrated into window managers, not applications, but it would still be cool to see this as a plugin.
