I severely blame the schools, because the schools are there to teach the background theory, so that students can learn the technology easily. Too many...
They are not, just as not everyone who is an advocate for MS, for USA or for anything else is. A few are.
Of course not. And you must not have read much to ask this question. There are lots of people who spend a lot of time and effort to help people.

And why exactly are you posting this? Do you honestly believe it will contribute to civilised discussion? "strut" "claiming" "scurrying", "bag of tricks" This is supposed to be an example of how a discussion should be carried on?
"pablum Puking babies"? Again, a well considered, rational phrase, intended to further discussion I buttume.
True enough. I avoid windows and Mac os because I'm not a gui person. Blind men don't point and click real well and most of the...
And how do any of the phrases you have just used do that?

Fine. Some people do one thing, some another.
Who knows. Why do you not tell us what it is you want to do, and ask if there are tools under Linux that do them. No, None of those programs is ported to linux and there is nothing in Linux that is EXACTLY the same as them.
But then they are not exactly the same as each other either. What is it you actually want to do as you certainly do NOT use everything they do.
Duh. Thanks for throwing up that Strawman for us all to appreciate... Ah, so you admit that you use old hardware. Now, will you be...
No. They do not need "heavy guns" they need programs which do what they want or need to do.
So? The advantage of open source is that if you find a program which does most of what you need, you may well find some 15 year old kid in your neighborhood who can alter it so it does exactly what you want. Spend the $500 bucks on him rather than on MS or whoever.
Which is incompatible with itself. I just watched someone who had developed a Powerpoint presentation on a Mac try to show it on a PC. It was a completely garbled mess.
Actually many know about it, just not very much. It sounds to me like your problem is more jealousy rather than anything else. "Maybe those Linux guys are really right and I am too ignorant to recognize it".
If you want to know what id doable in Linux, it is best to ask nicely and not go calling people who know what is doable names.
From you post it seems that this is right, since there is enough obnoxiousness inside to go around.
