The only thing is, you have stop the firewall to download something from the google store or use a browser. Then just restart it. Riiight. That's linux thinking right there.

Many many people use both Win and linux for one thing and another; and Chrome OS and/or android for another thing or other. There is more than one tool in the box. Exactly. As a teacher in a private school which decided to use AppleTVs to stream content from an iPad in every classroom, I'm obligated to use a platform which allows for that streaming to occur. Since Apple created their own standard, Linux obviously doesn't have anything available with which to stream my desktop or its documents to the AppleTV since I choose not to use their iPad. Windows has one called AirParrot which enables me to do my work so I'm using Windows. It also has Blu-Ray playback software if I choose to play a movie and decent applications for every other task. This doesn't mean that Linux is bad, but it lacks in third-party software which enhances the functionality of the operating system itself. Win for Windows there. Of course, that doesn't make Windows better; it simply makes Windows better for me in that one specific area. If I had to choose between the three and my workplace were ready to adapt to my decisions, Linux would likely be the first choice. However, I'm just an employee and as such have to adapt myself to _them_. Windows allows me a degree of freedom (not to use the iPad) all the while adapting to the context (using the AppleTV). Linux offers me no freedom in that specific respect. However, I stand by what I said about Linux: it is my favourite operating system but the great amount of delusion it seems to foster in its users doesn't affect me. It is flawed, buggy and the flawed, buggy personalities of its users don't help in advocating its use with new users. |

I suppose it depends on the use case. I've been using Linux as my primary desktop and server OS since the late 1990s. Early on there was a lot of manual setup and maintenance needed but for a long time now it's pretty much "just worked" for me. Doesn't mean it will "just work" for you or anyone else of course. For example, I have no need of any of the Microsoft Office programs. I've been working in the computer industry for over 40 years and have yet to use Word or Excel for anything. They're just not on my radar. (It also depends on what you are accustomed to working with. For me Linux is a natural because I've been working with various Unix and Unix-like systems since the 1970s.) The BSDs have much to recommend them but Linux tends to have better hardware and application support. All current OSes suck, some just suck more or less at particular tasks. If I had my way I'd prefer to be on TOPS-20. alienates me. You people are like fanatical Muslims in that any word critical of your operating system is reason enough to behead the person who speaks it. Well, I do believe that I should be permitted to behead anyone who annoys me but that is not tied to any particular OS. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Roger Blake (Posts from Google Groups killfiled due to excess spam.)
