Linux Divorce
It is with both sadness and relief that I bid farewell to Linux. No operating system have I used more than this. My time of use per operating system, barring a very short time with Mac OS, is about seven years for Linux, and six years for Windows (versions 3.1 through 98). The switch over from Windows to Linux was primarily prompted by the instability of Windows. The official moment of being over Windows came in 1999 when downloading a video game demo of about 30mb on dial-up to 99%, only to have the OS freeze and lose the entire download (hours of time). Seven fairly successful and enjoyable years of Linux usage followed, ending in the Fall of 2006. The reason for the end of my Linux usage is that I’m tired of living as a second class citizen, and the OS is not progressive enough. For more on my experience and my explanation of why Linux fails, continue reading below the fold.
