Linux desktop diversity

Article title: Linux desktop diversity. 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.

As you know, PC computers are not only one type of XP desktop, but also many types of Linux desktop. In the Linux world, how do I choose a suitable Linux desktop? It is impossible to rely solely on others to cheat. What should we do?

The Linux world is very complex. There are two basic desktop types: GNOME and KDE, and the packaging formats of desktop software packages can be divided into. deb,. rpm and. tgz. For example, Fedora and Ubuntu use GNOME Desktop (the latest version 2.28); OpenSUSE uses KDE desktop (the latest version 4.3.1 ). However, the packaging formats of Fedora and Ubuntu are completely different. The former is. rpm, while the latter is. deb. Debian and Ubuntu are used in. deb packaging format; Fedora, SuSE, and Mandriva are used in. rpm packaging format; Slackware is used in. tgz packaging format. I am afraid that these differences will confuse people.

You need to know that different types of Linux desktops are packaged into different. iso files and then injected into the self-starting USB flash disk. the specific method and execution difficulty are very different. These professional technical issues are not the concern of general users (leave them to the Kanas store ). It is not enough to publicize the Linux desktop based on others (such as technical comments. Installing various Linux desktops is time-consuming and labor-consuming. Then, the only feasible way is to experience it in a certain public place. But where should I go?

We imagine (this is not a utopia) that the school's computer classrooms and public Internet cafes are equipped with a certain number of self-starting USB flash drives and various types of Linux desktops (including "domestic Linux" desktops ), all available. You can try it yourself. Here, we don't need to talk about the specific situation.

Some people say that Linux desktop is not easy to use. Which kind of Linux desktop are you talking about? In general, this statement is not bad. Specify a Linux desktop, it must be better than another Linux desktop. However, if you say that Linux desktop is not as good as XP desktop. This is hard to say. There are many types of Linux desktops, not just an iron panel. isn't all Linux desktops inferior to XP? If you don't try it yourself, the answer is always lacking (that is, there is no factual basis ). For me, even the hard drive is unplugged, and of course I won't say anything nice about XP. First, it is annoying for XP to provoke Trojans. In fact, I never use XP (Mint 8 desktop is used at the moment). Even so, I am still a legal user of XP, because the PC computer I am using is an original brand computer, the original assembly machine (installed with pirated XP, but I don't need it), because its BIOS is broken, it's not needed to be placed next to it. When someone is using a Linux desktop, they claim that they are not XP users. this idea is naive. Some people do not understand the phrase "XP users are still XP users. In fact, XP users can use Linux desktops at the same time without changing their original identities. In short, an XP user can switch to a Linux desktop without using an XP desktop, which does not necessarily affect his or her original XP user's legal identity. People do not have to worry about losing the legitimate identity of XP users, except for those who steal the XP. Of course, if XP is permanently deleted from the hard disk, the nature of the problem will be different. Note: unplugging a hard disk is not equal to deleting XP.

Note: I do not prefer a Kanas free software store. Instead, I hope to open more free software stores. In such a large market, it is absolutely impossible to rely solely on a free software store. it is too thin.
