AwebPPC released : Comment 197 of 221 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Samface on 20-Jun-2002 08:41 GMT | In reply to Comment 194 (Anonymous): Like I said earlier, you cannot compare an open source OS with a commercial one. It's just like when some people prefer fast food while some people prefer to have it home made. You see, it doesn't matter if it's possible to make gourmet dinners in your own kitchen when you don't know how and you're not interested in learning either, you just want to get rid of your hunger. Linux is pretty much the same, great functionality but only a small fraction of the users knows how to use it. I still as of today have problems with my soundcard under Linux but it works perfect under Windows, why spend several hours/days in trying to correct the problem with Linux when I can simply boot up the preinstalled Windows which gets the job done right away?
You see, that's the problem with Linux, you have to be a computer nerd in order to even want to use it. The money spent on a commercial OS is easily regained with the time you did not spend on getting the damn thing to work, either that or by the money not spent on hiring an expert.
So, you can brag all about Linux features all you want, I still don't want to spend my days on learning how to compile X library and Y kernel etc. just in order to get a running system. Did I mentioned that it took me a complete day just to get the scroll wheel on my logitech mouse working on the latest version of RedHat? In the same time I get a *fully* working version of Windows up and running + atleast 10hrs of work done ontop of that. The one saying that Linux is for free is completely full of it, time is money!
Anyway, I didn't want to go into this and that's why I said that we shouldn't. However, as you don't seem to give up about it I simply had to tell you what I think it. Now leave for a Linux forum/newssite or stay on ANN and stop the Linux discussion already. If you're looking for Linux people then you're obviously in the wrong place, you know... |
