Yeah, only that Linux developers don't give a shit about consumers.
While theres no arguing with the defiantly incorrect, Linux developers dont care about consumers (ie. me and you) because there is no "user" consumer. Its a kernel. The only "consumer" is those that actually make something with it. If you gave someone a ferrari engine and they make a crap car with it then its hardly your engines fault. Most mainstream (user oriented) distros and software developers DO care very much about the people that use it.
By the way, Windows is also the #1 selling product in the server market.
Thats a missleading statement and it depends what kind of server you are talking about. For exchange email and file-sharing then windows is probably prefered (but only where windows clients are concerned). However linux/unix is used far more than windows in almost every other area and considering most linux based servers are a free product, the sales point is moot anyway. Think about it, if you were going to run an apache server rather than IIs (pretty much the entire web) why would you want to pay for windows to run it when unix/linux is better suited?
And that my friend, was the point of the comic. Like I said. Without having used Linux - they'll never get it.
Lol yeah i know but i didnt -HAVE- to did I ;) Actually no. It's about the process of getting addicted. Making using computers fun again. They won't get it unless they've actually at some point used Linux (and I don't mean off a live CD).
Hahaha thats one way of looking at it! There are basically two distributions. Redhat/CentOS for enterprise level users, and Debian (including Ubuntu) for everyone else. Writing an application that works across both, is a much more trivial task, than writing one that works across the XP/Vista gap.
Id agree with that. I had to modify some of my programs to work in vista. Everything ive written in linux so far the compiled binary works on all distros i have tried after the deps have been installed. Im only interested in the leading Debian based and Redhat based myself as they are the two main standards which the majority use.
