- | I had grown so used to everything working in Linux now, that I didn’t bother to check, and had the regrettable misfortune to buy a Brother all-in-one printer (Model MFC J480DW). I set it up and it won’t work in Linux – no Linux drivers and it hates CUPS (the Linux generic printer software). Because I teach IT, I have to have a copy of Windows, so I am able to use it in Windows, but I can see why, in some cases, Linux just won’t cut it. However, that still doesn’t explain why so many people haven’t switched. My Epson and HP all-in-one printers all worked perfectly in Linux. | + | I had grown so used to everything working in Linux now, that I didn’t bother to check, and had the regrettable misfortune to buy a Brother all-in-one printer (Model MFC J480DW).

Today in 2016, 56% of my viewers use Windows and 20% are using Linux. On the surface, that seems great progress but it tells me that there’s a vast number of poor folks out there who are in the dark and are paying big money for their ignorance. | Today in 2016, 56% of my viewers use Windows and 20% are using Linux.

- | I started asking around to see why people were still shelling out for software they could get for free. The most common response was that I must be some kind of supergeek to understand Linux. They visualised Linux as the old command-line interface. Today you can do everything in the graphics interface. You don’t need the command-line any more. | + | I started asking around to see why people were still shelling out for software they could get for free.

Maybe it’s time we put together a new list of incompatible hardware (routers, printers, scanners, cameras, etc), and sent copies to those manufacturers. We have enough market share now to start pressuring some of these manufacturers. No business can afford to reject 20% of the market. | Maybe it’s time we put together a new list of incompatible hardware (routers, printers, scanners, cameras, etc), and sent copies to those manufacturers.
