It's a secure multi-user networking operating system, nothing less. I can focus on productivity, using world class code/apps instead of updating my virus protection every time I turn on the machine and booting the broken malware infested garbageware that you microsoft users are stuck with.

You sound like WronG. He claimed he spent his entire day "fighting malware" and updating virus checkers. You're either retarded, as thick as a brick or telling lies. I suspect a combination of all three. You should spend ZERO time doing these things if you can master setting the pretty basic preferences. Telling lies is no way to go through life son. Screaching nonsense like above convinces no one. Try selling Gnu/Linux on its strengths and not by telling lies about Windows to people who know better.

There seem to be three main areas where this happens: 1) The not-quite-newbie, who has tried distro X, is somewhat comfortable with LGX, and is trying out other options just to see what's out there 2) The more experienced user, who is looking for something a little different - perhaps a source-based distro, or one more tailored to his particular needs,or simply seeing what the other guys are doing and why 3) The die-hard geek who either needs to, or simply enjoys, learning about how the different distros work, what makes the various designs tick. This may be personal curiosity, or due to supporting multiple distros at work, etc. The notion we change distros often enough to involve any significant portion of our lives, however, is simply silly, except in a few cases where doing so is a matter of professional necessity - as in the guy who does it because he needs to know how all the distros he supports actually work and differ. |
