Many Linux fans have been advocating that Linux will occupy the desktop and have been laughing at windows. But why is the desktop market still unsatisfactory? To say the animation effect, the menu mode has already opened several streets of Windows XP, which is similar to Windows. Why?
Some people say that the application software is not rich, some say that Microsoft is too monopolized, and some even say that Linux is a good tool. Low-handed users cannot use it, but they cannot use it as an IQ problem. I think these are the results, not the reason.
Okay. Now I will give you the answer: file system!
In Linux, the mainstream is ext4. What other file systems are there, such as ZFS and UFS, on BSD. On the other hand, how many years has FAT32 been used? NTFs is known as a poor security. Why is it that the file system becomes the "azos" feature of Linux and BSD systems?
We know that the win system gives users a huge space, so that users do not perceive the existence of OS, mainly in hard disk space. Users' documents, data, and movies (this is the main reason for driving the rapid development of hard disk capacity. Please refer to the original words of a hard disk company boss ). Generally, user data can be stored on D, E, F, and can be installed on D, E, F, and ,,,,. Win's own file directory is placed on drive C (usually, note), and will never be mixed with user data.
What is this? This follows the business principle, but * nix? First, there is a/directory where all the data can be stored, which makes win system users confused. when reinstalling the system, if you are not a master, haha, all your data is lost! Why do you create a directory named/usr for an OS? Can user data be stored here? So what is the/home directory used? Are you confused? Is the data of a common user stored in the/usr or/home directory?
If the level is higher, you know the partition. Well, when installing the OS, specify/usr as a partition, specify/boot as a partition, and then use Linux, put user data in the/usr partition (is it a partition or a directory ?), When * nix is reinstalled next time, how can I find the/usr of the original file?
I asserted that without the guidance of a special person, ordinary users could never solve this issue. The user's files were gone. What else should I do? Are you still in the mood to develop and watch movies on * nix?
I do not deny the success of * nix on servers and embedded systems, because it is too far away from general users, while * nix is not fighting for the beauty of the desktop, instead, it is necessary to ensure that user data is not lost during system reinstallation again and again. Is there a * nix common user who has never lost files? Common users: users who know * The number of Nix commands cannot exceed 10 (if you think this is too naive, please count the number of people who know that the number of Windows command lines exceeds 10 ). Some people say that * nix is dominated by command lines, so you are not talking about Desktop Linux.
How can this problem be solved? In fact, it is easy to do. Like windows, all system files are put in a directory during installation, such as/sys (of course, this/sys directory already exists, but it's not exactly what I mean). The software is installed in the/sys/tools directory, while other partitions are named/USR and/home, whatever it is. When the system is reinstalled, only the/sys directory is overwritten. (The current installation method is to install some software in/usr, and install things in/home ).
To put it bluntly, different cultures lead to different products.
Ms is a company, and Apple is also a company. Users must respect things and avoid business disputes. What is * nix? Professors, students, energetic organizations with special purposes can play a role after they finish their work, or are they called venting, a set of software developed, and users' data is lost? Sorry, this is your choice. This is why you are not a master. It has nothing to do with me. If we use this attitude to drive * nix desktop, It would be a dream.
In that sentence, the details and Details determine success or failure!
