I have been a Linux user for quite some time now. I don’t call myself a Linux freak or even a Linux pro, but yes I like Linux. I have frequented to many Linux forums or to the different Linux help sites or magazines.
One thing I have observed is that most the Linux Users or Linux lovers are in variably Windows haters. And believe me; I have seen Windows haters to the core. I don’t know why this happens, once people start using Linux they just start hating windows more and more. To be frank, when I started using Linux, I too joined this group of people who hate windows. But later on I realized, I don’t need to hate windows to love Linux! Why not use both the OS and take good from both?
Most of the people in the World still use windows. In case of
UNIX was there long before windows came, then why did UNIX was get a similar response as Windows? Why didn’t people plan to use UNIX for theirs PC? Well there are many reasons, but one of then is definitely GUI! Accept it, windows gives you a fantastic GUI.
I have tried thinking, is there anything in GUI I think which I think is missing in Windows? I did give it an honest thought and apart from tweaking the current features, there was nothing which came to my mind which I thought is obviously included in the GUI. Mr. Gates did invest a lot in developing a really user friendly GUI. Guess we should really give it to MS for giving us a really nice GUI.
Apart from GUI, the ease of package installations, ease of PC software maintenance, and most importantly, the ease of installing the OS at the first place!!
Here I am not comparing Windows with Linux or any other OS; all I am trying to say is Don’t just Hate Windows because you love Linux.
Don’t forget, by allowing dual boot, Its Linux way of saying “Love Linux, but Don’t Hate windows”
