So how much did you bet when you wrote that?
"Does anybody here know one single person not employed in the IT industry who runs Linux as an everyday machine? I bet you don't!"
Yes, I know three: one is an editor for a magazine and uses it on his home computer, one works as a therapist for mentally ill people and she uses it on her home computer, and the last guy is a physicist and uses it both at home and (out of his own choice) at work.
"The only people I know who use Linux every day are Linux developers who need that OS for a good reason."
Get out more! You’ll make new friends that aren’t working in IT and get the surprise of your life when you end up back at your new friend’s house, ask if you can have a quick go in the internet and discover she’s running Linux. And an even bigger one when you discover she installed it herself rather than got her friend who works in IT to do it for her.
I’ll put all this in context: You know those young guys, you know, the ones that have always had computers and mobile phones and are still in their early or mid twenties. Guess what? They aren’t afraid of installing operating systems, building their own networks in their homes, upgrading their computer’s hardware themselves etc. because for them, it’s just NORMAL.
Do you get the picture?
Biting the hand that feeds IT
