This one is hilarious. It's on a Linux centric site, written by a
Linux zealot yet because he tells the truth about Linux, admirable,
it really turns into a "why on earth would I want to run Linux" post.
Only he doesn't get it.
Like I said, hilarious.

This part is
hysterical!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!

A couple of hours a day and after a few months?
Is he ****ing kidding?
Most people don't last a day with Linux after trying it.
Linux is that bad.

"The truth is that, at first, it will be hard, and you will encounter
many issues. Prepare to search the Internet for many tutorials, join
forums of the Linux distribution you're migrating to and ask
questions on how to do various things. My suggestion is to install
Linux on a different computer, or use a dual-boot setup - though many
will encounter issues with that - and access it from time to time,
1-2 hours per day, and after a few months, you will know if you can
really make the switch."


Would be great if the "advocates" could find places where Linux actually
benefits their productivity, efficiency, or error-reduction.

But they can't.



I do know that some major banks use linux to run their servers HSBC being
one of them. Productive enough for you.

if you knew any thing. What you put in is what you get out.
With windows you pay cash. with linux you pay time. No
cash with windows you use hacked software. Then you have a compromised
system. Then you pay with time.

If linux hit the market first. Linux would have all the problems windows
has now. Android being my point.

If linux hit the market first would not all the hardware manufacturers
be writing drivers for linux. WHY?

Regardless of OS moving from one to another there will always be a learning
curve. If you are not prepared to put in the time you stay where you are.
