Why have you switched to GNU/Linux?

,----[ Quote ]
| Prior to this, I used Mac OS but I knew that 
| both operating systems are proprietary and 
| want to limit the end user. I got tired of 
| being manipulated to use a particular 
| application and having bloatware already pre-
| installed on my computer. After searching the 
| Internet for alternatives to Mac OS and 
| Windows I found this really cool concept that 
| is called Linux. I didn't know much about the 
| OS but gave it a shot.

What Linux means for the Consumer - Drivers, Open Source and Support

,----[ Quote ]
| When a consumer installs a Linux system, this 
| has various consequences for him, which are 
| sometimes hard to estimate at first. I've 
| written a little summary touching the 
| differences to Windows and Mac OS X in 
| drivers, open source and support.

Does Ubuntu Capture the âMac Vision And Spiritâ Better Than Mac OS X?

,----[ Quote ]
| A week ago, on April 29, Linux distro
| Canonical released Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid
| Lynx) in Desktop, Server and Netbook
| editions. It featured a new look that some
| rate more attractive and up-to-date than
| Snow Leopardâs. âLucid Lynxâsâ new graphics
| card drivers and other consumer-oriented
| innovations front a Linux-based operating
| system package containing all the essential
| productivity applications you need, all for
| free: a web browser, office suite, media
| apps, instant messaging and much more, and
| is being pitched as an open-source
| alternative to Windows and Office or Mac OS
| X and the iApps. Ubuntuâs core applications
| are all free and open source.
