Linux desktop promotion and popularization are entering the new era

Article title: Linux desktop promotion and popularization are entering the new era. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.

Today, the promotion and popularization of Linux desktop should enter a new era. Why?

In April 29 this year, the release of Ubuntu 10.04 was a turning point in the history of Linux desktop development (the XP empire began to decline ). Now, we can finally say that Linux desktop is better than XP (desktop) in terms of performance and running speed. Generally, Linux desktops fall into two categories: fixed desktops (bound to computers) and mobile desktops (Live self-built desktops ). After repeated tests and practical use, the use quality of mobile Live desktop (or portable desktop) is almost the same as that of a fixed desktop, or even completely "homogeneous ".

In China, according to the judicial "interpretation" of the Supreme Court of China on software use, individual end users can "non-commercial" use of copyright software (genuine software products) without the permission of the software holder ), such as genuine XP. However, the judicial "interpretation" issued by the Supreme Court has passed for many years, and the "non-commercial" use of software is close to "extinct", for example: personal online shopping activities (that is, "commercial use") are becoming increasingly popular. At the same time, in recent years, the copyright protection awareness of the majority of computer users has gradually increased, so it is not suitable to continue to tolerate the spread of software piracy. Therefore, the promotion and popularization of Linux desktop mentioned our agenda.

The debate on free software can now be "no longer mentioned", because Ubuntu 10.04 free software package is in front of us, and everyone has nothing to say. The fundamental advantage of Linux desktop is that all free software modules are free from the use authorization fee of the corresponding modules, and the actual maintenance fee is gradually reduced to zero, linux desktop avoids all viruses, Trojans, and backdoors. Computer manufacturers in China should learn the courage and courage of Lenovo to pre-install Ubuntu 10.04 desktops (with foresight ).

Some people worry that users will not use Linux desktops. Now, this worry is no longer necessary. it is an old calendar. In terms of system usability, Ubutnu 10.04 is definitely better than Win 7 (still too large). Moreover, such Linux desktops do not require any post-maintenance fees (so-called "after-sales service "), the current situation is (greatly) different from the past. now we should say that it is time to vigorously promote and popularize Linux desktops. Today, we need to mobilize and unite all forces to blow a general counterattack code to the XP piracy empire.

Today, I honestly said that I have deleted XP. Install a set of Ubuntu 10.04 on the hard disk and a set of Ubuntu 10.04 on the self-boot USB flash drive. The two are one version (no copyright issues), which can be exchanged on a daily basis, it can be used in almost the same way (I don't feel any difference ). (Note: If the USB flash drive does not require its own storage function (Casper file), the boot speed of the USB flash drive will be faster .) In the future, I will never say that Linux desktop is a dumb of XP friends, but I will say to XP: Bye! (Sorry, I'm sorry .) For this reason, some people scold me as a traitor to XP, and I don't care. anyway, I am already a "Linux traitor. If someone asks me, why do you come out again against XP? My answer is clear: XP is old! It seems to have Alzheimer's disease. In addition, Microsoft does not seem to want it. We cannot imagine (or accept) a permanent XP paradise.

Note 1: The 3D effect and transparent window of Ubuntu 10.04 (essential style of the modern operating system) are not inferior to those of Windows 7. Moreover, the 1 GB memory space is good.

Note 2: During the writing process, a sudden power failure occurs at home. However, when the power supply was restored, I was pleasantly surprised to find that my electronic files that were not stored in the disk were missing more than half a sentence! It can be seen that the power-off protection function of Ubuntu 10.04 is indeed doing a good job!
