Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm just tired. On the last post about having Linux at our work, many people that seems to be an IT worker said there have been several issues with Linux that was not easy to manipulate or control like they do with Windows, but I think they just are lazy to find out ways to provide this support. Because Google forces all their workers to use Linux, and they have pretty much control on their OS as any other Windows system.

Linux is a valid system that can be used for work, just as many other companies do.

So my point is, the excuse of "Linux is not ready for workplaces" could be just a lack of knowledge of the IT team and/or a lack of intention to provide to developers the right tools to work.

Linux can be used at your workplaces

Yea given that Linux servers are already commonplace it is clear you were referring to Desktops.

You’re garbage at this, the worst kind of advocate Linux could have.

WTF, you look like having a bad day, because of my lack of English knowledge doesn't give you freedom to insult me.

EDIT: I think you are just insulting me, but if Linux is the most used OS means the support should be awesome... worldwide support... while this malware could happen on Linux but also on Apple and of course on Windows, there will be always malware... so at least let's make one really good as it is right now Linux (with support for old computers, means it's not forcing users to keep upgrading their hardware), and that's the reason it is the most used, fits everywhere. Windows only have the monopoly and Apple the "think different" thing (and they give special focus for designers and is Unix, sadly docker is still virtualized).

I look forward to your next unhinged factually incorrect post.
