RE: 3 Reasons You Should Switch to Linux!

in #technology7 years ago

You're a lot better than a "top x reasons" type of content creator.

You also lead the story with "Here are the top 5 reason you should switch to Linux, as soon as possible" then only list 3.

Linux only is probably impractical for most given software requirements by employers. That said, its really easy to buy an old laptop/desktop and install linux on it, so its accessible to anyone who wants to try. That, or just dual boot.

Why the hell would you pay 200$ for a proprietary OS?

Because it supports software I need, sadly :/

The standout reason I'd say to encourage people to use Linux (I'm saying this as a total ignoramous but I'm learning) so far seems to its emphasis on understanding how operating systems works. Not only can it offer you that, but it has the tools you can learn easily enough to leverage this knowledge and substantially increase productivity - whether that is bash or community created software. I find it much easier to keep the environment clean in comparison to windows.

Most anyone can get behind faster and more efficient workflow.

Hey I need a catchy title to get many readers, how else can I educate people if they are more preoccupied with watching cat pics than informative stuff? I have corrected the typo.

I don't know what is with thie employer problem? Multiple people have already said this.

When I worked in the corporate world we mostly used office and a few proprietary math apps, but those could easily be done in python anyway.

So I really don't understand what specific apps your company requires you to use that doesn't have an alternative in Linux?

Most offices use the office softwares, like for charting, budget planning, accounting, etc...

Do you work for like a art/design company?
