The Future of Linux is Google (PCWorld)The Future of Linux is Google (PCWorld)Posted Nov 19, 2009 10:00 UTC (Thu) by forthy (guest, #1525)In reply to: The Future of Linux is Google (PCWorld) by JoeBuck Parent article: The Future of Linux is Google (PCWorld)
What's the difference to a Windows user? My father has Linux, installed by me through the standard OpenSuSE install (i.e. select language and contry, desktop environment, root password and user account, and nothing more), and his major problems with it just come from age, and would be the same as with Windows. His PC never needs hand-holding, it just works. Compare that to my sister, who uses Windows, because she wants to run some (pirated) proprietary software like AutoCAD. This PC needs far more handholding from me than the Linux box. If she wouldn't need AutoCAD for her job, I'd just give her a Linux box, too. Sh's quite afraid of Linux, since she only knows it from my usage pattern with four xterms and an emacs window ;-). I told here that my Windows desktop (when I port something to Windows) looks exactly the same.
