I'm a little unsure about how to properly advocate Linux. It seems
like it has a smaller percentage of the desktop than Microsoft and
Apple(making it ideal to advocate), but yet I am told that there is
absolutely no way of knowing for sure and that any stats are sure to
be *way* off. I want to offer improvement ideas for Linux, but it is
my understanding that Linux ranges from being as good as possible
right now to perfect, depending on who you talk to. I think some
changes should be made to how we distribute Linux, but all I see is
that it would change what Linux is, and "choice is good." How the
latter pertains to my suggestion, I'll never know. I think apps should
be concentrated on for improvement, but apparently the apps are great,
there are thousands of suitable apps to substitute for your Windows
ones, and they just work. I'm forgetting Microsoft's role in all this.
They are using their supreme power to keep Linux from being adopted,
if in fact that all statistical figures are correct (which they aren't
obviously, but Microsoft is still evil). The Linux apps are great but
due only to Microsoft's proprietary formats they aren't being accepted
as much. Microsoft's sole purpose for being is to stem the flow of
Linux adoption. They bought Novell which was struggling and about to
be removed from NASDAQ, and they did everything possible to make them
struggle and about to be removed from NASDAQ. Also, everyone who uses
Windows is a moron (a minority of people, but still worth mentioning)
and that is keeping them from switching as well.
I know there are a lot of Linux advocates in here. I would like to go
from being a good advocate, to a great one. My question is how do you
guys advocate an operating system that is so good, so near perfection,
and already on a majority of desktops (more than likely, web stats,
experiences are all way off), that is only being held up from 100%
usage (we think anyway, it may already have cornered the market)
because of Microsoft. Nothing is wrong with Linux, it's only
Microsoft's fault and its ignorant users like Stephen Hawking. Please
help me advocate to Stephen Hawking!
