10 reasons for not using Linux

10 reasons for not using Linux

Buggle Bear.




In another article trying to convince you to use Linux. However, as with Windows and Mac OS X, there are reasons why the operating system of the penguin is a bad choice for our computer, but just take a look at the forums and your comments like Softonic users or detractors of Linux.

Here we review 10 reasons why Linux should stop the gurus and stay with your beloved current operating system.

1. Because the operating system I use now satisfies me

That is fine for free software, but for the use we give to our PC (check my mail, chat, surf the web, write documents, listen to songs and movies) are just as valid tools on both Linux and Windows or Mac So why change?

2. Because I do not need know how to ride a car to drive it piece by piece

If you can build, program and read the source code of Linux you made a beast. But not everyone wants that, nor have time for it. To turn on the computer, do a couple of clicks and have at our disposal the three or four programs we use, and we're happy.

3. Not to be a freak

That may sound exotic to use Linux, but be realistic. Hardly anyone in our circle of friends knows what it is, and will look weird if you start talking about Gnome, Gimp and Synaptic. So do not be the freak of the group and make for the majority, have some reason.

4. Too much, but what about quality?

There are hundreds of applications for Linux, but we just need one that works, not a thousand and one half to complete their tasks.

5. The terminal is the antichrist and want to destroy us

Linux has evolved significantly, and in most cases everything is done via windows and mouse clicks. But the terminal is still there, waiting to use it and laugh at you with such messages as "incorrect command, do not know what you're talking about, installing more packages that still have room on the disk, a goat to root me." Do not do away with your patience and your friends' computer.

6. Because it running smoothly is an odyssey

There are lucky people who installed Ubuntu on his laptop to the first, and it works webcam and Wi-Fi. Urban legends aside, Linux is often impossible to make everything work perfectly, either because it does not recognize a peripheral or tells you it's incompatible or simply because we have been old for futuristic visuals of the latest distro of the day . And they say Windows Vista.

7. Because if it breaks you no one will help

The Linux user community is very large, and has made all sorts of manuals and tutorials. Even there are distributions with support. But at the moment of truth, there is never anyone when needed, and if you deign to answer any and after let ridiculed for your lack of knowledge about Linux you are sent to read a manual where there is no catch.

8. Because in my work all the world uses Windows

The thing is even more traumatic when you use or specialized applications designed specifically for your daily tasks. So if you use Windows at work, why not do it at home?

9. For an apple rather than a penguin cool

Apple has sold its products and make love like anyone else in the family. Many pray every night for Steve Jobs to bring them a new Mac for Christmas. By contrast, Linux lacks the glamor.

10. For taking the opposite

So fashion is getting the free software that will eventually prevail. So if you want to contradict you all use Linux, stay with Windows.

daughter drink water?

daughter drink water?

SWF files eg save games


Daughter to drink water?

I'll try to transcribe a conversation I had a few days ago with my daughter.

He was on Saturday morning to look for my old to spend the day at home (barbecue and swimming pool in between) and my 9 year old daughter asked me to accompany.
During the trip, it occurred to me to ask:

"Because instead of using the PC in his room, always wanted to use my notebook?, To which he replied it was because he liked most Linux ...

"Because, I ask:

-Because it is more beautiful than windows and facebook and the pages of little games I do better.

"You said it's free ...

-Like windows is not free?

"No child! The computers in a house with windows, but they are phony ...

Potato-like trout?

- (As I explain?, I thought)
See Linux and Windows are two operating systems, all computers need one for work, most people use windows because it is what it knows, but as sold at very high prices, end up using stolen versions.

"But stealing is bad potato!

"I was child ... but the thing is so ... however linux is free, nobody will get paid.

"And the PC of the grandmother and the aunt and my friends also have windows stolen?

"If daughter, none is legal, but Sabrina that came on your netbook.

"And because people do that if this bad dad?

"I told you they do not know anything else.

"Let's see ... if I give you to choose to drink two glasses, and I say that one is pure, free and you can share it with your friends, and the other is either stolen or I'll charge and on top is full of virus and impurities, which would you choose?

"The Free PAPA!!

"Then I know why you use my notebook! go home as you install linux!

-And so it was, after spending a beautiful day with your family you install Edubuntu 9.04 on your PC and I can-say my daughter is also on this side of the force.

8 year old girl prefer Linux instead of Windows XP






If you ask a person with few computer skills to choose between Windows XP and Linux, the preferences are concentrated in the latter alternative, the study concludes with a high degree of insecurity.

In this case, it is not scientific proof or conclusive by the publication Cnet, they asked an 8 year old daughter of one of its editors, choose from a OLPC XO with Windows XP or a desktop PC with Sugar UI, based on Linux, both designed for the PC for developing countries.

Both are good
The test is interesting in that both devices are designed for children of the same age, and not for specialists or users who have played with Linux and Windows for over 30 years.

The girl spent a full afternoon alternating between the two PC. On equipped with Windows has several advantages, including the ability to use the Office productivity suite, known since as for many children, and plenty of educational software designed for Windows platform, and a programming tool called Scratch.

The unit operated with Linux, meanwhile, incorporates a series of educational games, programming tools and other software built around the operating system Sugar (sugar).

When the time comes to leave, and when asked what equipment would prefer to take home for further exploration, she selected the Linux operated. The publication concludes that his election was due in part to such an alternative has a greater number of applications, which failed to use during the hours he was at the offices of Cnet.

Cnet points out that when both systems are configured properly creative accomplish its mission, which is to provide an appropriate software tool, low cost to children in developing countries.

Windows Vs Linux

Windows Vs Linux


What is the best operating system ..




Well actually in the new era that the best operating system is discussed ..
Some say it's Linux, things are very certain to be the most stable.

But when deciding which is the best system must take into account several factors


1) Stability of
2) Easy system management
3) Accessibility
4) Low cost
5) Security



Seeing these factors, we see that Linux meets them all but 2.

Because although Linux is to become a very accessible operating system is still a little confusing to use.



For this reason Windows is in the abyss of operating systems, but does not meet almost any factor, and if we add to the heavy reliance on programs that have updated the Windows platform, users do not care about this because it just looking for a user-friendly operating system.



We must take into account that new users are young minds that are immersed in the world of video games, and look for Windows because it is the system which are echo almost all video games because of Microsoft's huge investment in these companies, they do not know the users is that the Linux platform are also at most of these games with ease, and sometimes even the graphics are better because of the stability of the system.
As you all know Mr. Bill Gates hiso everything possible to stop or minimize to Linux, which not achieved because every day more and more users join the this platform for increased security of your personal files and in the XXI century thanks to Linux metadistribution reach the hands of people of all countries.



Well back to the issue of who is the best operating system, let me in Sirl that is Linux, for its great stability, of course I say this not just me, but a large number of surveys that are published on the Web. But the last vote I have the Windows users who prefer to be a docile and manageable operating system, this does not mean that Linux is not
This is all my research the best operating system, and omitted many things in order to make it a bit more palatable to the reader.

Hope you liked there.

Expect my next post on the best system

Have we changed the Linux users?

Have we changed the Linux users?

help Linux users opinion


Very interesting article I read in Linux that talks about something many people complain rookie or windoleros and the lack of help from Linux users to solve problems. Without further preface I leave the article:

Linux Journal is probably one of the essential journals in the history of Linux. I have not bought it, but its online version is still a fantastic source of information, but yes, the interface design and have fallen a little behind.

But the content, as I said, it's still really good. I met yesterday with an article by a writer named Chase Crum entitled "User vs Linux. Linux Culture" in which he related his recent experience in some IRC rooms where you had to ask for help or when you just came out of curiosity. And that experiment led him to think that maybe the mentality of the Linux users are changing slightly.

Actually, this is also my experience. Looooong time ago since I took my first steps, and when I managed to install the first time I spent several days exchanging emails with people who had done the same thing before and had been successful. The attitude of those users was amazing: just slow in answer, and always willing to try to solve the problem.

That attitude "evangelizing" that I served my time trying to help many people over the years, and ended up serving for MuyLinux come to light and that in turn serves as a resource for everyone but this rule is not always true. It seems that little by little some users with more experience and a different attitude-must be respected throughout the world are simply not interested in helping. When asked why something does not work, they respond with the famous:
RTFM. ("Read the Fucking Manual" - "Read the manual p. .. o)

It is a grave error, I think, that the Linux community is beginning to make. In the IRC room you can find everything, of course: people who help you, and people passing you. But the proportion is shifting dangerously towards a larger group of users who have forgotten that one of the great advantages of Linux was just a lot of people were always willing to help.

Are we losing the spirit of evangelization?

Scratch, Programming for children.


Scratch is a powerful and creative tool designed to facilitate the learning of programming through a simple graphical interface and dynamic.

Despite being aimed at children (6 to 16 years) raises an interesting first approach to programming, enabling the incorporation of concepts such as iteration, conditionals, variables, data types, events and procedures.




Powered by The Lifelong Kindergarten group "in the MIT Media Lab, by a team led by Mitchel Resnick, this project is built on the programming language Squeak, inspired by previous work on Logo.

About Scratch

Scratch is a programming language that makes it easy to create your own interactive stories, animations, games, music and art also allows you to share with others their creations on the web.
As young people create and share projects in Scratch, learn important mathematical and computational ideas, while learning to think creatively, to think systematically and to work collaboratively.



Features

Programming with building blocks:
The Scratch programming is based on the metaphor of building blocks, where blocks are constructed by fitting procedures graphics as Lego bricks or pieces of a puzzle.

Manipulation of sound, images and video:
Allows creation of programs that control and blend graphics, animations, music, sounds and simple touches them.



Community Scratch:

Through its web platform , not only to share Scratch projects, but also facilitates the exchange of graphs (Sprites) between projects and authors.
