I like IT. A lot. I like computer games. I like PCs and websites and networking and wireless, processors, GPUs. But I love Linux.
It ain’t perfect (what is?) but it has its strengths. Here’s not the place to extol its virtues, though. The point I am making is that it exists. I’m glad you can choose to run your hardware with an operating system comprised of the efforts of multinational corporations and hobbyists. I’m glad that it is ubiquitous, even though users don’t see it on their android phones, viewing websites hosted on Linux servers, watching Netflix on Smart TVs.
I feel a little bit chuffed every time someone comes over. Where I work, supporting home users, I occasionally make the suggestion if they’re wondering what to do with older equipment, but my most eager convert is a blind user in her fifties.
It’s not my first choice for operating system and the only reason for that is Gaming.
