“One of the great plus points about running GNU/Linux
used to be the continuous process of improvement going on – and the
fact that one did not have to wait very long to sample those
improvements if one wished to do so.“The additional plus about experimenting was the fact that in
practically all cases there were sensible defaults set for the
newer applications, defaults that would not screw up your existing
set-up.“But in recent times, given the great push to make everything
running on GNU/Linux graphically-oriented, that seems to have
changed. I’ve been burned over the last couple of days.”
