Linux has been widely used in recent years. In addition to the many irreplaceable advantages of Linux in the server field, more and more technical staff are trying to choose Linux in terms of desktop and internal enterprise applications. However, for most Linux enthusiasts and even Junior users, Linux still gives a feeling of "complexity" and "difficulty. In a public interview in November 11, he Xiaolong, a famous Linux User, said: Linux is far from the complexity that everyone imagined. The reason for this is that Microsoft's thinking model is completely different from that of Linux, this kind of preconceived thinking greatly increases the difficulty of learning Linux.

He Xiaolong is the interaction between Ubuntu lab in China and ubuntuchina.CommunityThe main founder has more than a decade of Linux experience. During an interview, he interacted with netizens about the relationship between Linux and Windows and how to become a Linux master, at the same time, he expressed the views of many "open-source people" on Microsoft, black screen and other hot events.

Yongzhong office and OpenOffice are more advanced than Microsoft Office architecture?

Office applications are one of the most popular applications of enterprises and one of the most "hot" topics at the moment. The recent OpenOffice conference and the high-profile release of openoffice3.0 have sparked a greater fire. So what do open-source people choose as their daily office systems?
He Xiaolong replied: "I often use OpenOffice for office work. However, for high system compatibility, I chose yongzhong office2009, because it is also free. Talking about the differences between the two, he Xiaolong's opinion is: first of all, from the perspective of the application, their purpose and effectiveness are similar, the compatibility of the OpenOffice Doc documentation is slightly poor, not always high, however, if you do not need to be compatible with Microsoft's office, you only need to save it as an international common ODT format, so OpenOffice is much better.

But speaking of compatibility, He Xiaolong stressed that for users, the compatibility may feel very different. In fact, from the underlying technology, OpenOffice is more advanced than Microsoft Office 2003. Microsoft Office is a distributed component. To use Doc, you must use Word. To use workbooks, you must use Excel. However, OpenOffice is an interface. Its design philosophy is somewhat more advanced than Microsoft's, but from the user's experience, it may not be as good as Microsoft.

Windows's "disk" standard thinking mode is the biggest obstacle to learning Linux.

In the face of the difficulties encountered in Linux promotion and popularization, He Xiaolong believes that the first-class inertial thinking may be one of the biggest obstacles for users to learn Linux. For example, Windows divides file systems based on disks -- He Xiaolong calls it the "disk" standard thinking -- but Linux and UNIX are classified based on file structures, the original "disk base" must be forgotten by Linux learners.

He Xiaolong gave an example: there is a printing effect in biology, which was discovered from animals. For example, when the ducklings hatch, the first thing they see is a dog. It will think that its parent is a dog, which is the first thing they see. The current situation of Windows and Linux is similar to this situation.
