The dark side of Linux
There are two sides to every coin. Every cloud has a silver lining. Linux is not all about rainbow pops and glittery unicorns. Without the bad there is no way you can appreciate the good. At the risk of being called an ms shill again (I am still chuckling over that one) I am going to explore the dark side of Linux. So put on your Pink Floyd album, shove another brick in the wall and lets go spelunking.
Why am I doing this? Why not just write on all the good stuff about Linux and sweep the elephants in the room under the carpet (don't you just love mixed metaphors . For starters I have written plenty of good stuff about Linux as well as bad. I also think that too many people concentrate too much on the good stuff. I believe that a little bit of focus on the cracks in the wall will help us to know where to patch it up.
There are several aspects to the dark side of Linux. There are configuration problems, hardware problems, usage problems and application problems. I will have a look at them one at a time and perhaps get some suggestions from you on how we can fix these problems to make Linux a better operating system.
Configuration of Linux systems have come a long, long way since they first became more than just rebels without a cause. Every distribution which I have used has their own methods of configuring the Linux system. Some are good and some not so good.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
