Why do you like Free Software and Ubuntu?
,----[ Quote ]
| I consider software important. Really really important. Why?
| Most people don't really understand just how much power software has over our
| current society. Let's pretend all the software in the world was really just
| one single person. What could that person do?

Should You Care About Linux?

| Once you have loaded Linux onto your machine, what then? You need software
| and games. Corel reports more than a million downloads of its Word Perfect 8
| for Linux. Loki Software has ported the game Civilization to Linux.

My Free Choice to Move to Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Until about 5 weeks ago.
|
| I had suddenly felt the urge to drop Vista and stop using OS X. And I did.
| Here were my reasons why:
|
| 1. Macs are more expensive in the long-run. Sticking with OS X means
| sticking with premium-priced Apple hardware. I know there
| are “hackintoshes” (e.g. ways to run OS X on non-Apple hardware), but I
| would not rely on those hackintoshes as my main machine. I also
| understand the argument that one “saves on time”. Conceptually, that
| makes sense.
| 2. Vista is just slow. Resource-hog. Annoying pop-ups. I used Vista
| Business on my Lenovo Thinkpad X200 and while it was an decent experience,
| it was still too slow. Especially compared to XP. And that’s already
| using ReadyBoost.
| 3. Linux was interesting to try. Free software. Community-driven and
| supported. Great performance (at least that’s what I had read). Stable
| software.

Moving from Mac to Ubuntu: Why I’m switching
,----[ Quote ]
| Why I’m leaving Mac
|
| 1. Crap file management.The Finder doesn’t work for me. No location bar
| and no tree strucure side panel makes it difficult to navigate folders and
| move files around the way I want to.
| 2. Insufficient panels & customization. In Ubuntu I can have as many
| panels I want, can put all kinds of stuff on them, and can arrange them
| however I want. In OSX You just have the dock, and you can really only put
| applications or files on them, and you can’t even put in a separator to
| keep them organized.
| 3. Various other annoyances. Such as:
| * program menus are glued to the top of the screen on one monitor
| only, which detaches them from the window. This is especailly
| annoying when the program you’re using is on the second monitor.
| * the date/time doesn’t open to a navigable calendar. I often use
| this to check dates in the past or future.
| * you can’t see hidden files unless you run a command from the
| terminal to turn them on. Thus, hidden files are either always on
| or always off.
