I don't get it, could people please stop saying that Linux doesn't work. It works fine, if you know your way around things and have some extra spare time. The fastest way to do things isn't always the best one, i don't get where this mentality comes from.
I am NOT a linux fanboy, i see it for what it is, use it on a regular basis, play around with it and use it for day to day work. I do this by personal preference and i don't demand others to like it as much.
People do come up and ask me questions about linux, if it is usable for day to day work and the answer i normally give lies in the lines of "Well, it demands more patience, time and knowledge. But it is still better in some areas and it has another way of doing thing. I do not recommend that you turn to it fully without reading up on it first".
I find it idiotic to some part, you can't throw freaking ubuntu onto people that expects something fast easy and compatible. Still, it should come as a choice, which it already is. But i'm somewhat disturbed that people expect computers to be simple and something that should work with little or no knowledge. I don't use a car nor do i try on any other field that the one i'm already comfterble in without reading up on the subject or atleast, come with the freaking will to learn.
The real wtf is the expectations people have without considering that they themselves MIGHT have to freaking learn something. Sure computers are a tool, but it's not a hammer.
I know i'm contradictive. Computers should be eassy to use, something that helps everyday life but at the same time. People need challanges, learn something, expand. Is it too much to ask that people understand the technology that they use? If they don't, aren't we sliding in the the reality shown by the movie "Idiocracy" where they weren't smart enough to repair, develop or in any way advance. They merely had the knowledge to use the technology that was created by earlier generations. And doing so merely by bashing the keyboard to see what happens.
We need to advance. That goes for every single indivudual. Not a select few.
Meh, whatever, if you wanna discuss, contact me.
Sorry for the big block of text, i'm too stupid to figure out how to use paragraphs. Well, i suppose that's the way of life.
