Open, Free, Functional, and Wrapped In a Strong Sense of Self

“That being said, there are certain tasks that people
expect from desktop computers. For the most part, Linux handles
these tasks (and maybe even more) just as well as (or perhaps, in
certain cases, even better than) Windows. Games, most likely, would
be the one software category that Windows has the inarguable upper
hand — and for some, that’s definitely a deal breaker. It isn’t
for everybody, though — and that’s the idea.

“For many years, I heard Windows described as a
one-size-fits-all operating system. I don’t think there is an
inherent problem with taking some Windows-esque elements and ideas
and applying them to an open setting, if they’re good, useful
adaptations. The idea is that Linux isn’t Windows, it’s something
different, something more, a real, honest to goodness
alternative.”
