  • I’m not some old Unix hacker, but after 20 years with ‘Linux’, I can without any doubt say that Linux-based operating systems—that’s meant to be stable and reliable—is stable and reliable.

    They’re light years ahead of Microsoft and their operating system. Even Microsoft knows that. That’s why they keep replacing Windows with Linux for their backend.

    With that said. Linux is not perfect. And while I like Linux and believe it’s overall a really good option for a lot of people, especially beginners, I’m not in any way some sort of fanboy. I’m quite the opposite. I’m the first person to be vocal about everything that’s wrong with it. :D

    In regards to intuitiveness, I believe the issue is you here. ;) It sounds like you’re an experienced Windows users, and therefore also set in your ways in regards how Windows work. However. Linux is not Windows. Different systems may work differently.

    I had the same issue when I started using Linux. I previously only had experience with Windows, and I tried to use Linux like it was Windows. This didn’t work at all, and it made it into a quite frustrating and poor experience. :)

    I don’t understand. A laptop computer on standby lasts days on battery?

    If I had to regularly use a laptop computer I would charge it every day when I got home. It would just have been part of the daily routine I have when I get back home from work.

    How often do you work for 12-14 hours straight without any access to electricity?

    If Linux is actually of any interest for you, giving up on it because of a few hours of battery life, feels weird for me. Why not invest in a power bank or make it work some other way.

    With that said. You’re obviously free to use whatever you want to. I personally can’t stand Apple and their incredibly barebones, limited and locked down operating system.


  • I don’t know who this is, but he clearly made some people here upset. :D

    The whole post is about him not finding any sensible use for a 1 Gbit Internet connection for himself. He never ever mention any one else.

    I really don’t understand how this can be offensive for anyone else. Why is he not allowed to have an option about himself?

    PS. I do believe that the title is somewhat click-bait though.
