Just to say i'm so happy.
I've xubuntu and,I handle it very badly so, loads of times i'm formatting my computer and reinstalling.
And i like it all the same.
Cheers!

Welcome to LQ

I'm improving anyhow but, i joinned Linux since February last year and, i don't regret'it. But, gives a lot of work and, one has to study a bit. But it's worthy, i've progressed since and, it's knowledge that stays. Is valid. Not like window's, the more you learn, the stupider you become.
Cheer's Linux.

You're right, with Linux you are encouraged to use your brain and get to know how things work. And then _you_ can have the control! I think this is a great, enormous value, in a world where so many things are designed to _prevent_ people from thinking.

Keep on learning!

Best wishes,

Philip

Well look at the new Apple's games on Facebook Pyramid Solitaire and bubble saga. Based on Boxplosion Absolutist(opensource). My friends are just crazy about it, But Apple's really have a very stupid behaviour towards their clients. I really hate it, but is very hard to make people realize it. I work hard with my friends triyng to make them experiment UBUNTU, but i don't know if i'm getting any results. I even gave them Boxplosion...

"loads of times i'm formatting my computer and reinstalling"


That is the way most of us learned linux.

I know the Opensource idea since computers apeared to the public 83/84, with Spectrum. By the time people had a sharing idea about computer developments, i didn't believed'it much at the time, seemed a bit utopic. Although i liked computers and, waited to see if it really would devellop i mean a broader usage. 2 or 3 years ago i restarted with windows but, people didn't seemed according with this sharing idea. They seemed a bit stupid to be honest. Like un image or something, since i found Ubuntu, things are different to me. This is the way it makes sense. Or in other Linux distributions.
This is the old way.
I hope corporations loose...
