Debunking Common Misconceptions Among Linux Newbies
,----[ Quote ]
| Linux is for gamers too. Too many people believe the popular myth that there
| are no or very few computer games available for Linux. Actually, there are
| many games available, in a large variety of genres and styles. There are
| First-Person-Shooters (FPS), Role-Playing Games (RPG), arcade games, puzzle
| games, strategy games, flight simulators, and other games. Just run online
| searches for a list of "top linux games", or ask the nearest Linux fanatic
| what his favorites are.
|
| Often these Linux games do not always have quite as high a resolution or
| quite as many features as their proprietary, commercial counterparts, but any
| gamer can have a satisfying experience if he is willing to patiently
| experiment with the various Linux games that are available.
|
| Furthermore, due to special "emulator" technically written for Linux, it is
| sometimes possible to play Windows games on a Linux computer.

Linux Elitism: Fact or Fiction?
,----[ Quote ]
| Most open source enthusiasts want more people to embrace Free and Open Source
| Software solutions, but just like how the style of products is important to
| Apple aficionados, familiarity with the terminal and an appreciation of the
| under-the-hood mechanics matter to the FOSS lovers. That said, FOSS has an
| added element absent from the corporate-backed technologies. Whereas fans of
| products made by rather large businesses need to appeal in aggregate (or
| focus groups) to get noticed in the product design process, FOSS is a
| free-for-all. Anyone is free to bring anything to the table. While a lot of
| folks may get corporate logo tattoos and/or pontificate about what
| such-and-such company did right or wrong, few of them will ever have any
| actual input. On the other hand, if Joe Sixpack wants to make his own Linux-
| or BSD-based operating system with his own logo and software, he's free to do
| that. FOSS is based on empowerment and the appreciation of empowerment, and
| with empowerment comes responsibility.
