What the Linux desktop gives that Mac OS X and Windows don't
Lest someone accuse me of disliking the Linux desktop (which, by the way, I do , I thought this post was interesting, as it details things that Linux can do but Windows and Mac OS X can't.
Not all the distinctions are accurate (at least, not for the Mac), but on balance it's a good list. Here are a few of the most significant (in my opinion):
* Linux doesn't need defraging [Nor does the Mac - not really]
* Upgrade to the newest version legally and without paying money
* Have the latest version of the OS run faster than the previous version on the same hardware

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. |

A lot can change in 3 years.
Hypocrisy?
He used a very brittle YaST/RPM system in an old SUSE (before this was resolved). AT the moment, he uses proprietary Apple software, I think.
Hypocrisy?
Always Bashing....
I still like the way that some people seem to feel justified in bashing one OS over another. The whole point is to choose one that works well for the end user. If your end needs require a Mac for heavy graphics work, fine. If you love to game like no tomorrow, a Windows machine is for you.
For me, I prefer the stability that Linux provides. That and the fact I don't need to keep up with several different subscriptions for anti- this or anti- that. There's a lot more to why I prefer it over the others but space prevents that and it'd probably bore everyone to sleep.
Suffice it to say that IMHO most of the bashing is due to the competition feeling a squeeze. Just look at Microsoft. They buy who they can't compete with! ;^)
