A refreshing look at Linux
July 22nd, 2008I maintain over 100 Linux computers every day at work from my Windows Vista desktop. I run a NetBSD machine as my personal mail and web server (you just loaded this page from it) and I run an OS X laptop at home. I’m familiar with the pros and cons of each, and choose the system that’s best fit for the task at hand.
A friend on IRC recommended this blog, so I gave it a read…
At first I was annoyed… I don’t like to see negative content posted about Linux! But as I read further, and read a bit more between the lines, I can see that this guy really does care about Linux. He’s just being brutally honest about its flaws, and baiting the often annoying orthodox Linux user community for fun.
The Linux Hater’s Blog makes me laugh out loud when I read it, and it is constantly making valid points. I hope the developers of the systems and applications being panned are actually taking an interest in what this guy has to say!
OpenOffice.org is NOT better than Microsoft Office, and Gnome is NOT a better desktop UI than Vista’s Explorer. So there.
