Why do I use Linux?
October 8th, 2009
I get asked this question sometimes, and after reading Hellow’s Blog, I decided to post my responce in both places.
I don’t own an Apple because I can’t afford it — more expensive for slightly different hardware. I can’t customize it — for a box which expresses how ‘cool’ you’re supposed to be they all look really similar (you can’t think different if everyone is on a Mac).
I don’t use Microsoft Windows because I can’t fix it — most people aren’t programmers, but the fact that simply knowing one (or being one) can get a bug fixed is awesome. I can’t use it — I can’t work without multiple deskops and sloppy focus. Its just too painful.
I use Linux because I can do anything. I can do just about anything I want.
