[Edit] Do not be a "missionary"

(This has a major drawback: Open Software has no publicity like commercial software. If users are so low-profile, the user base will not be significantly expanded .)Why is it traditional Chinese? In addition, the translation is messy. Many people are constantly discussing Linux comparison windows in the discussion area, and they are even eager to compete. This is unnecessary.

Such arguments are time-consuming and useless. Yes, it took you an afternoon to use a lot of facts to "Defend" Linux better than windows. However, the Windows supporter does not like Linux. They just flushed down a little and asked for new evidence to debate with you.

People in the world are using the most cutting-edge science in Linux research. We also discuss here, "Do you want to use the boring question of Linux to catch up with the pace of the Times?

What is Windows supporter and Linux supporter? Why should we support one and oppose another? You don't need to protect Linux, you don't need to be a Linux supporter, or the GNU missionary "the GNU/Linux has proved their power to the world with facts, it has been accepted by most people. You only need to enjoy the pleasure and freedom of GNU/Linux.

What you need to care about is not what your tool is, but what you have done with it. A proficient Linux doesn't mean anything, because it is just a tool. If you use Windows to complete your tasks well, you do not have to spend time getting familiar with the Linux operating system. It's not long before you find that a task can only be completed by the Linux operating system, because the Linux fans around you will be happy to help you.

If you have feelings for the Linux operating system, you should understand that those who are used to using Windows will also depend on Windows. There are still many similar debates: Microsoft Office Word and Tex, Emacs and Vim, Wolfram Mathematica and Maple, gnome, FVWM and KDE, dog school ...... and calmly said to myself: "I don't stand on either of them." Although this is not easy to do.

Different people have different needs and different environments. For you, good things are not necessarily good for others. We need to respect others' choices. If you say someone else is usingProgramNo.

[Edit] Do not force yourself"

People who like computers always tend to be forced. Some people say, "the keyboard is faster than the mouse. Do not use the mouse. In this way, efficiency can be achieved ." Therefore, in the editor, he always uses 20 W or more commands like 10j to reach the target point. He even thought that the graphic interface was redundant and simply did not install xwindows.

Using the keyboard seems to be much faster than getting the mouse away from the keyboard. However, the frequency of quick keys is not the same as the efficiency of work, it is of no benefit to your health. This only turns you into a keyboard player.

When you are checking yourArticleOr the program or thinking is flowing with the meaning of the characters, suddenly 20 W, more than 10 J such things appear in your mind, will it interrupt your thinking? No? It means that the problem you were thinking about at the time is relatively simple, and these interference will not play a side effect.

In fact, when many people use computers, their thoughts are bound by some kind of teaching. The above is only one of the many types of teaching. Some people create a lot of this kind of mathematics. They use his work style to ask others and laugh at people in different ways than others. For example, some people laugh at other people who write programs and do not press the C 8 character to indent. They laugh at others who use the arrow keys in step 6, laugh at others who do not know what value-added tax is, and laugh at others who use Java, C # This memory language is recycled from the local selection ......

You don't have to worry about all kinds of teaching. Computers are just your tools. You can use them whenever you want. No one can restrain you, and no one can laugh at your work. The computer will no longer look like this tomorrow, so today you don't have to fully understand it. You do not need to know what others have created, because you need to leave some time to create something on your own. As long as you have fun!

When you modify an article next time, you may wish to click it in the place you see in your eyes.

 
If you find that you are suffering from a similar type of stress disorder, it is suggested that you attempt to give birth to a mental illness.
 

[Edit] Do not "Play with Linux

Many Linux users may feel confused. which release version should I use? Is it because I have not installed anything? How can I upgrade it so quickly! Why is it so unstable! Whenever a new software is used, he wants to try it out. Whenever a new version appears, he updates it and selects programs he has never seen in the new menu.

In fact, you use Linux for the sake of the Linux operating system, but do not find the correct reason to use the Linux operating system. First, you must clarify the purpose of using a computer. You use it to solve your actual problems, rather than to learn how to install the operating system, not to test which version is useful, not to "catch up with the trend, it's not because your hard disk is too big. You want to take up more space.

If you do not know what to do after you start the computer, it is best not to use the computer first, because you may have more important things to do. That's nothing to say.

[Edit] release version not picky

Many people are always wondering whether another release version is better than the one they are using when they are using Linux. They always doubt that they will lose support in the future and have to use another release. So many people today are red hats, and tomorrow they will be replaced by Debian, while babaya will be ...... some even have installed two versions of Linux on one machine, which is better.

In fact, you do not have to do this. Any release, as long as you are familiar with it, will almost never be affected by the way you work above. I used to use a red hat. When I installed Debian on a new machine one day, I found that the experience of using the Red Hat was not wasted. It took me one afternoon to configure Debian so that it can be followed by a new version.

In Debian, The Suse, Red Hat, Gentoo,... Any version is good. Many people think that LFS is a symbol of a high level of hackers, but not everyone has the energy to understand all the details.

[Edit] = Do not blindly upgrade =

I don't know whether this is the psychological effect or something. Some people may want to change it to a relatively large version number. Many people have a comfortable RedHat configuration, but once a new version of RedHat is released, they will download it as soon as possible and then choose to upgrade and install it. As a result, the configuration files that have been modified are often washed out. New software has brought new problems. For example, once my rxvt was upgraded to 2.7.8, it was in conflict with minichinput and upgraded to RedHat 8.0, xmms found that MP3 playback is not allowed by default. xfree86 has a new vulnerability in i810 modules. Mozilla may suddenly quit.

If you have already configured everything, never upgrade it as a whole. This will waste you a lot of time and it is not worth it. There is a saying: "if it is not broken, it will not be solved ." If your program can complete what you need to do, why upgrade it ????

 
Yes, most of the problems reflected in the Forum or other places are either better than SuSE ubuntu, either it is better than Ubuntu's mandriva and so on. Many people still regard the Linux operating system as a superficial thing. I didn't bother learning the Linux system.
 

[Edit] do not configure things you don't need

If you only want to be an ordinary user like me, the main purpose is to use Linux to complete your own scientific research tasks and daily work, you don't need to ask yourself for the standard of the system administrator or network administrator, because it is really hard to be a system or network administrator. It is a waste of time for ordinary users to learn complex maintenance system tools that are not frequently used. If they do not need to learn them, they will soon forget them!

I am not a qualified network administrator. All my servers are configured with only the functions I need. Setting up FTP for SSH connection is enough, which saves me a lot of trouble. "Security, because the Linux operating system is safe by default. Without a tape drive, I don't need to worry about the strange parameters of tar. CZF, xzf, and ztf can already meet all my needs. Sanda, awk,... I only use several common command lines.

[Edit] do not use the root account as usual. Used only when needed!

This is a common phenomenon for many people who are new to UNIX operating systems. They do not like to use it only when managing the system. Instead, they always use the root account to do everything, configure the system, and install programs, browsing webpages, playing games, programming ......

One day, he accidentally used del * in a system directory ......

[Edit] Do not look at Linux from a commercial perspective

Linux is not a commercial software, so do not look at the Linux operating system from the perspective of windows. The authors of Free Software never draw on users. They are not responsible for users. In fact, in the world of free software, there is no clear line between developers and users. Everyone is a friend.

Free Software may only meet the needs of the author and his friends, or even create for fun. The free software is not perfect. The Free Software acknowledges that it has its own shortcomings and does not expose itself to the eyes and ears of "users. This relief of responsibility for the author inspires the author's creativity. They do not have to worry too much about "upward compatibility. They are often more reasonable and advanced than the commercial software structure that carries heavy burdens.

So when you encounter difficulties using a free software, you should not blame the software authors because they are not obligated to you. You should not treat yourself as a picky customer. Instead, you should make yourself a consultant for the software and a kind of adviser so that you can understand the happiness of the author when writing this program, report to the author when there is a problem, help him improve the software and become a happy participant. Just like your brother gave you an old bicycle, you should cherish this friendship, instead of yelling at your brother when the car breaks down or your bike falls down. If you really cannot use this kind of cooperation mentality, you 'd better not use this software.

This is an advanced culture that includes the spirit of mutual cooperation and scientific innovation. It is not easy to understand this. Many people often leave free software because they cannot understand this culture. There is no loss for the author.

[Edit] Do your business

Many people told me that your web page is a waste of time for me to configure this configuration. It will be FVWM and mutt ......

Well, those things are accumulated at when I am free. If you want to deal with all those things at once, I'm afraid it will take you a few weeks or even months! You don't have to deal with all these things before you can work properly. Unless you really have to use a program, or you are idle, you can leave these things alone.

[Edit] the preceding items are for reference only.

The above is my opinion and is not necessarily suitable for everyone. It's up to you!
