Comments on: The REAL reason we use Linux http://vladdolezal.com/blog/2008/the-real-reason-we-use-linux/ feel deeply alive, every single day Wed, 16 May 2012 19:13:16 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: scribbler http://vladdolezal.com/blog/2008/the-real-reason-we-use-linux/comment-page-3/#comment-6124 scribbler Tue, 08 May 2012 06:21:52 +0000 http://vladdolezal.com/blog/?p=14#comment-6124 "What % of computer users have the skills, knowledge, time and desire to tweak configuration files and read man pages to get a system running?" Well, at one point, all computer users did. Computer OS's used to be insanely flexible, allowing for automation and scripting that made lengthy, repetetive tasks a breeze. No, not everyone was an ace programmer, but everyone knew how to get work done using commands and loopbacks. Yes, there were GUIs, but everyone knew that actions were merely visual representations of commands. Now, Microsoft and its ilk have convinced millions of people that they're stupid when it comes to computers and have fostered a sense of toxic co-dependency. People aren't stupid or inept. The system is too complicated. I would suggest switching to Linux for so many people, but that comes with its own set of headaches because of pig-headed decisions to keep drivers closed to quell dissent. I'm not an evangelist for any system. I only demand that users wake up and demand that hardware and software alike be set free. “What % of computer users have the skills, knowledge, time and desire to tweak configuration files and read man pages to get a system running?”

If you know the commands, you don't have to look around at the menus, it's fast. I'm a linux only user (archlinux), I have everything here. Command line is fast, but hard to use in the begining..

I treasured to drop you a quick note to express my thank you. I’ve been observing your weblog for a month or so and have plucked up a heap of sound information as well as enjoyed the way you’ve structured your article. I am setting about to run my own web site however I think its too general and I would like to focus more on smaller topics. Hi. I treasured to drop you a quick note to express my thank you.
