Red Hat Fedora11: Hard to use to subvert Linux

In the past few years, RedHat has been criticized for focusing on the more profitable enterprise server market rather than the personal computer market. This criticism is not unreasonable. A few years ago, RedHat decided to become an enterprise software company. However, anyone who thinks that Redhat has forgotten his/her personal market when winning enterprise customers needs to try the final version of Fedora11, a red hat community OS for desktops and laptops. I 've been trying Fedora11 for the past week and found it perfect and professional, and it even reaches or exceeded in key performance aspects.

In the past few years, RedHat has been criticized for focusing on the more profitable enterprise server market rather than the personal computer market. This criticism is not unreasonable. A few years ago, RedHat decided to become an enterprise software company.

However, anyone who thinks that Redhat has forgotten his/her personal market when winning enterprise customers needs to try the final version of Fedora 11, a red hat community OS for desktops and laptops. I 've been trying Fedora 11 for the past week and found it perfect and professional, and it even exceeded or exceeded the Windows operating system in key performance aspects.

From the function list of Fedora 11, you can see that its default file system is ext4. You may not be able to understand this, but I don't care about the underlying operating system, as long as it is easy to use.

In fact, usability is the biggest selling point of Fedora 11, and of course there is a faster running speed, from power-on to login system only 20 seconds or less. This completely defeated Windows.

(If Windows wants to catch up with Linux in terms of Startup Performance, it must resort to Linux, such as the Splashop of DeviceVM)

However, this is what I have seen in several Linux releases, including Moblin Beta 2, Ubuntu 9.04 Netbook Remix, and OpenSUSE 11.1. Although none of them are perfect, I like Mac OS X as well as Windows Vista or XP.

In fact, as part of the test, I have always put a Linux-based netbook at home, so that my children and my wife can use it at any time according to their own ideas. My wife knows about her favorite actors on the Internet Movie Database (IMDB. My daughter writes a thesis on it. They can easily complete these simple tasks, such as setting up wireless network connections. Everything is easy to use and similar to the operating habits of Mac or Windows users.

This is the current status of "desktop" Linux: it does not need to prove anything. It took several years to achieve user friendliness. Now it has achieved this goal, and of course it also benefited from the global transformation based on browser computing. At this point, the only thing that Fedora and other Linux versions can do is to accept and extend the computing experience of Windows or Mac operating systems, because they have done very well in this regard (especially Windows ).

In this case, Mark Shuttleworth of Ubuntu has set Mac as the target of its "desktop" operating system to be defeated.

The only thing I'm not satisfied with Fedora 11 is that it does not have a Netbook version so far, and I'm not the only one looking forward to a version like "Fedora Netbook Remix.

In addition, by using the MinGW environment, you can directly compile and debug all functions of Windows programs from Fedora 11. It also has built-in the latest and best open-source software, such as Firefox 3.1, which is used to browse Web pages.

Never think of it as mysterious or annoying. the Linux "desktop" era has passed. It still needs to be improved, but also for Windows. Apple's Mac OS is the perfect "desktop" in terms of beauty and ease of use. However, according to the performance of Fedora 11, Linux is not far behind.
