We all need more humor in our lives!
Isn't laughter the best medicine? I think that the fact the creator and founder of Linux, Linus Torvalds, to which the an amazing OS is named after - that being Linux, is showing his "thumb-up" for 7 shows :
1. He has a good sense of humor
2. He understands that "it's an OS"
3. An OS is a "tool on the toolkit"
So many people these days get "defensive" and caught up an the "OS Wars", of which is better, etc. They like to defend their "preference".
I have installed and used Linux, Windows, MacOSX, BeOS, etc. If there is anything I have learned is that all of them do one thing in common :
Install Software Applications.
Each of them provide a GUI to use the app,
in some shape or form, and that's it. Some look better than others too. But the simple fact is this:
Computers are made to run software. They are tools to do things. That's why we have them.
Hey, even Apple has issues and problems with their products, just like Windows PCs, and there's even issues with Linux apps too. Trust me i know. I hate "dependency issues". The point I am making is :
Nothing is perfect! Everything has problems.
Sometiems it's hardware, or software. or both.
And I do want to point of that Linux is a success story of the determination of the human spirit to produce something that works. I give kudus to Linus and his ideal to make an OS that would work, and to all the millions of people who helped produce it!
My preference now is Ubuntu Linux. But I could easily change over to something else. I don't care about what is better. I care about if it works!
The thumbs up by Linux shows that he understand that is just a tool, an OS. We all should realize this! Anyhow, just my "tidbits".
