Desktop Linux: An Average User Success Story
,----[ Quote ]
| Chuck is my average user desktop Linux
| success story. He has been so for about six
| years now. Chuck does not want to go back
| to Microsoft operating systems as he sees
| no benefit to that. He does see some
| negatives to going back though. He would
| have to go back to buying and installing
| anti-malware software and keeping that up
| to date. He would have to go back to
| worrying about malware infections through
| e-mail or cracked web sites. Certainly if
| Chuck were using a Microsoft operating
| system I would do all I could to secure his
| PC for him. But I could not guarantee Chuck
| would never get malware âowningâ his PC in
| that case. I am not there to watch over
| Chuck every time he opens an e-mail or
| browses web sites. With desktop Linux Chuck
| and I both know that he does not have to
| worry about those problems. Chuck is happy
| to use Linux as an average PC user.

Linux: This time, it really IS time
,----[ Quote ]
| But a couple of things happened recently
| that convinced me Linux has finally, truly,
| really, no-kidding gone beyond being a
| contender against Windows for the average
| desktop user. It has become clearly
| superior to Windows for the average desktop
| user.

| MAC or PC?: Neither â Linux. I think the
| best operating system around is Ubuntu
| Linux and Iâve been using it pretty

Flipping out with Linux.
,----[ Quote ]
| The next thing that I wanted to do is copy
| the video to my computer. This is where I
| was concerned. As you know I use Linux and
| according to the Flip web site (here) this
| little beast only supports windows and
| MacOS. Not one to shirk at a challenge I
| decided to plug it in to my Linux (Gentoo)
| and see what would happen.
|
| I am sorry to say that it was not a
| challenge at all. The Flip was instantly
| recognized by my computer and I could
| browse its memory at will. Apart from the
| programs to install the windows and MacOS
| software the videos were stored in the same
| directory format as normal digital cameras.
| I simply navigated to where the videos were
| stored and double clicked on a video to
| play it directly from the camera.

Survey finds support available for open desktop shift
,----[ Quote ]
| On the second count, it found that Ubuntu
| is by far the most widely deployed
| GNU/Linux distribution. OpenOffice, the
| Firefox web browser, Thunderbird mail and
| Lightning calendar are used for the core
| desktop functions. Respondents use The Gimp
| image editor, Inkscape graphics editor, and
| Evince PDF viewer to provide other common
| functions.
