10 reasons not to use GNU / Linux ... WTF ¿? Happy First Birthday Navigating Costa Rica.org
Linux, I got an article where Kmaleon
commented on a blog where someone cried 10 reasons why not to use GNU / Linux. As I am a big chop me day to the task of refuting each of these 10 'reasons'.
1. Because the operating system I use now satisfies me
If you're comfortable paying high prices for a license and an operating system for their office suites, deems could be even better using a free operating system and also free. Oh, and if not paid by their Windows license, you are breaking the law and can lead to problems. Users of GNU / Linux distributions generally use free, high quality and we are not breaking any laws by doing so.
- 2. Because I do not need know how to ride a car piece by piece and I drove r
- what That's the worst fallacy of all. Currently, most distributions GNU / Linux is ready for use straight from installation. Bring and office suites, browser, etc.. What you say is true in Windows, where after installing the operating system must also be installing Office, updated Media Player, etc..
Do you need to be a mechanic to drive a car? Are you a mechanic, gives some advantages, but just driving your car like any other.
3. To not be a freak One reason absurd. Do you think people who use GNU / Linux that just speaking, lives locked in a basement, no social life, babbling commands Unix? 4. Too much, but what about quality?
The quality lies in the fact that hundreds (if not thousands) of people are continually reviewing the source code for different applications, making corrections, improvements and optimizations. In Windows, bugs, security holes and other lingering much time in the best case for weeks, if they are corrected at all.
5. The terminal is the antichrist and want to destroy us
The Terminal is a tool or an option, like the command line it is in Windows. Most Linux distributions allow do everything from the GUI.
6. Because it running smoothly is an odyssey
Most Linux distributions come and stop lists used once installed. The computer with which I write this not require more hardware configurations. Even more have
Live mode or Live to boot from the CD and you can try the OS without installing it, to have an objective criterion of whether it works or not.
Many distributions already have pre-installed office applications, ready for use. Just install Windows, do not install anything else you need to start working?
7. Because if it breaks you no one will help
I have many years of working with Windows environment and Microsoft is the manufacturer of that in our institution where we work we have obtained an almost zero support service. Even when we have demonstrated the failure of some component and requested correction, we received the response (weeks after) the change does not apply in the next version (which would also have to buy). Typical example: CAPICOM component for managing digital certificates.
When I needed help on my home computer with GNU / Linux, I always find on the Internet away people willing to help with any problems or queries.
8. Because in my work all running Windows
GNU / Linux has support for open files that you use in Windows and vice versa. From Word, Excel, Powerpoint, audio, video, to EXEs. GNU / Linux is not an island. Instead, use open standards or ISO for handling formats. Microsoft and Apple use closed formats that prevent or hinder data sharing (Full Age of Information.)
9. For an apple rather than a penguin cool
The objectivity of this statement leaves me dumbfounded. No is an objective reason is a personal opinion.
10. For taking the opposite
As you say, free software is gaining individual and corporate supporters every day because they realize its advantages. If you are someone who likes to be worse when you see that everyone seeks to improve, is free to do so. Good luck.
