The reason for my negativity is the fact that the Linux world is so divided. A phrase you can read everywhere is: Linux is all about choices. That's great. But I think nobody sees that those choices are what is keeping Linux a small player. | The reason for my negativity is the fact that the Linux world is so divided.

Je vois les choses un peu différemment. |

+ | La raison de mon scepticisme est le fait que le monde de Linux soit tellement divisé. Une phrase qui se voit partout est : Linux propose plein de choix. C'est formidable. Mais je pense que personne ne voit que c'est cette pléthore de choix qui fait que Linux reste un acteur mineur. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Il y a un seul Microsoft et un seul Apple, alors qu'il y a combien de distributions Linux ? Distrowatch affiche le Top 100 dans sa liste. Chaque distrib. qui s'y trouve a deux ou trois versions parmi lesquelles choisir, ce qui fait que le nombre total est bien plus élevé. | ||

- | Isn't that more important than having yet another distro which is 99.9% the same as the one it is derived from? The 0.1% being a color green instead of a color purple, some extra codecs installed to make it ready for use out of the box, or in other words: peanuts. | + | Isn't that more important than having yet another distro which is 99.9% the same as the one it is derived from?

- | Why not join and make fewer different products, but make them faster, more stable and more safe. Make a few different distros so there is still something to choose. Since the beginning there have been rpm-based distros and there have been deb-based distros. Some 3rd party software appears in rpm and not in deb format, others the other way around. Conclusion: you can't get all the software you need without being a computer nerd and change an rpm into a deb (or vice versa). | + | Why not join and make fewer different products, but make them faster, more stable and more safe.

I have used different distros since 2008 and I can manage myself pretty well nowadays. Still I need help, so I Google for answers, or I use the forums. Happily I can say that almost all of the time I get the solution I need. I am not a nerd, nor will I ever be, I am a computer user, not a programmer, not an IT specialist. The computer has to do what I want it to do, not more, not less. | I have used different distros since 2008 and I can manage myself pretty well nowadays.
