It is alright to be just a Linux user
,----[ Quote ]
| Being a GNU/Linux user is a peculiar thing in that you stand a great chance
| of being pulled into such hard to define brackets such as "Linux
| community", "Free Software community" or "Open Source community". Words such
| as "community", "sharing" and "cooperation" are tossed around so much that it
| really shouldn't be so surprising that some have went so far as to compare
| the FOSS (Free Open Source Software) phenomenon with some sort of a communist
| or socialist ideology. There is so much emphasis on the collective yet so
| little talk about the individual.
|
| [...]
|
| And if you are one of those who cares a lot about having an increasing number
| of users adopt GNU/Linux then I think heeding this advice should help you.
| Think about how many users may actually feel turned off by the frenzy of
| community-ism, being flamed for "not doing enough" and being caught in cross
| fires full of religious zeal over why someone did or didn't do something.
| Just because someone is a Linux user does not mean they are immediately
| subscribed to the religion of "Linux Community" and the profession of
| a "Linux Advocate".
|
| Free Software empowers you as an individual. Don't let the falsehoods of
| community-ism undo that.

10 reasons for switching to a different Linux distribution
,----[ Quote ]
| You’ve been using the same Linux distribution for years now, but something
| has been eating at the back of your brain… some zombie process trying to tell
| you to switch to a different flavor of your favorite open source operating
| system. You can’t put your finger on it, but it’s there. Some users settle on
| the first distribution they find and never leave it. Others seem to switch
| distributions as often as they switch desktop wallpaper. But most Linux users
| go through one (or two or three) distributions before they finally settle on
| that one that perfectly fits the bill. That’s where this article comes in:
| How do you know when you’re ready to switch to a different distribution?
