See, you not only have to be a good coder to create a system like Linux, you have to be a sneaky bastard too.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Linux is its own worst enemy: it's splintered, it has different distributions, it's too complex to run for most people.
Before the commercial ventures, Linux tended to be rather hard to set up, because most of the developers were motivated mainly by their own interests.
I think Linux is a great thing, in the big picture. It's a great hacker's tool, and it has a lot of potential to become something more.
I'm interested in Linux because of the technology, and Linux wasn't started as any kind of rebellion against the 'evil Microsoft empire.'
Linux evolved in a completely different way. From nearly the beginning, it was rather casually hacked on by huge numbers of volunteers coordinating only through the Internet.
Linux has definitely made a lot of sense even in a purely materialistic sense.
There's innovation in Linux. There are some really good technical features that I'm proud of. There are capabilities in Linux that aren't in other operating systems.
UNIX is basically a simple operating system, but you have to be a genius to understand the simplicity.
There are lots of Linux users who don't care how the kernel works, but only want to use it. That is a tribute to how good Linux is.
All the best people in life seem to like LINUX.
