I have lived through the "worst" of times with Linux only to see it bloom into the robust, secure, freely distributed, freely available, and inherently secure system it has become today. I left the World Of Windows in the year 2002...and I have NEVER gone back! I went from being a distro-hopper to making Fedora my main OS with Ubuntu...OpenSuSE...CEntOS...and only recently ElementaryOS my main operating systems on my desktops and laptops. Never again would I ever install anything from Microsoft, and while they might go around with their pre-fabricated slogan of "Microsoft Loves Linux"?...I prefer not to test those waters at any cost. My biggest complaint as of these modern times?...is that there seems to be this "push" to blend Microsoft with Linux..(the whole "WSL" Windows Sub-System for Linux) and they're trying hard to "convince" us long standing users of Linux to adopt and install their software (Like VisualStudio Code...and other apps that were once only available on a Windows computer!) to which I say?<br /><br />Its too late. You HAD your chance to "play nice" with Linux, and all you ever did? was block every attempt to mingle with all manner of side-stepping and blockages of all types. And now.....that Linux has "won"?.(and don't be fooled, yeah....Microsoft has a dominant share of the desktop / business market but Linux?..runs EVERYWHERE...Microsoft doeskin, Period.)..NOW you want to be our friend? No. I don't want your VSCode..(when there's VSCodium..a free and literally direct replacement for it!) I don't want your Microsoft Edge, not when Firefox has been my main browser for almost 20 years! I don't want your office suite, your Azure Web Cloud offerings, I want NOTHING that has the Microsoft emblem on it on ANY of my systems. Its too late for all of that. And now that I've started studying programming in both C++ and Python?...I find I don't need Microsoft in my life period! <br /><br />Sorry for the rant, I guess I'll just end with "Yes, I agree with your statements"!...LOL!Eddie G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11211758013393939905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-474321140763590831.post-86005659714316721182019-04-26T17:58:56.202+01:002019-04-26T17:58:56.202+01:00I think is best: "Five things I need to chan...I think is best: "Five things I need to change to Linux":<br /><br />1.

Windows is becoming more and more a big burden to support.<br /><br />Each dolar spent on developping Windows is a dolar lost in developping much more profitable bussiness. And Microsoft exists for a single reason: Make money for their investors.<br /><br />If companies feel confortable deploying in Azure AKS, and AKS means lot of proffit for Microsoft, what sense does it make to spent money on Windows instead of developping new AKS based solutions (aks == linux + kubernetes + containers running on Azure).<br />E.Arizón Benitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05818596012997858632noreply@blogger.com
