10 Things a new Linux user needs to unlearn
,----[ Gist ]
| 1) Reboots are not SOP (Standard Operating Procedure).
| 2) "It is recommended that you close all apps before proceeding" is a
| message you will fail to see.
| 3) You don't need to renew your spyware/spamware and virus checker
| subscriptions.
| 4) Linux comes with many, many, many, many applications to do pretty
| much anything you want to do with a computer.
| 5) Stop looking for EULA boxes.
| 6) Autoconfiguration. After you buy that USB drive, or that printer (you
| did verify that it is Linux compatible), plug it in then start using it.
| 7) You don't need to try to find the Linux equivalent of "PC Doctor"
| or whatever you are used to.
| 8) Defrag.
| 9) Under the "Start" menu, or Linux equivalent, you will find
| applications usually (sometimes your vendor makes strange placement
| choices) grouped in logical terms such as Internet
| 10) You computer is yours.
