The world of Open source

Two years ago, I had been enjoying the Truman World in the closed source system and GUI interface.

I have tried several distributions of Linux, and I feel quite mad.

Does the video card have a suitable driver? Make use of the 800*600 resolution.

Installation software should not be double-click to do it? Actually compiling it from the source code? Browse through various documents, experiment with various methods, solve countless module dependencies, and eventually find that the strategy is not available for the distribution at hand, or for an incompatible old version.

Develop code with a thin text editor (VIM)? What about the project file tree? Auto-completion can do so poorly, Go to definition is a dream function.

Can't you use the net silver? Install a VMware, it's over, and we're running out of memory.

Why are the GUI so ugly and slow?

......

Clearly, all this is no longer present today. Looking back at the time of their own, very much like a spoiled, walls high walls. Walking outside the castle, I felt the house was a paradise. In fact, to self-familiarity and security is a conservative, pompous, respectability, veneer of the Dark Castle.

Few things in this world are simple progress, a sign of maturity, is to understand that the old is not necessarily outdated, the new will never be perfect.

Linux, and the various tools on it, are very old. Windows started eminence from XP, grabbed people's eyeballs with a gorgeous, easy-to-use GUI interface, and used odious command-line tools to make the command line an incredibly ugly and inefficient impression for all Windows users. Now, do they deliberately make the command-line tool so odious that it pours dirty water into the CLI interface?

Microsoft is a success, a new generation of developers, it is easy to equate Linux with that familiar DOS window, to its distance. Microsoft has been working with developers to provide a fool-friendly development environment, easier-to-learn programming languages and frameworks, and Win32 APIs that seem to be esoteric for a lifetime.

Microsoft is an autocratic empire, a country that "loves" its people and is afraid of its people. It is afraid that people become smart, more afraid people become deep. To protect the foundations of the existence of the empire by exhausting all seemingly merciful methods and keeping people foolish.

Maybe I should thank Microsoft for the opportunity to see and understand two different worlds. Because the more free-to-open Linux world people, it is difficult to go to the closed autocratic windows world. And those who come out of that world are more able to appreciate the value of freedom.

Today, open source ideas and values, open source software in the industry play an important role in the great success of open source operating system, there is no need to argue and praise. In almost all respects, the open-source world is no longer an endorsement of the chaotic, rough, paranoid arrogance.

OS Package management tool, VIM and git combined plug-in system, OS X high-quality GUI interface, Linux kernel efficient and stable. All this, let people more free at the same time, also more worry. The most attractive place for computers lies in the limitless possibilities of finite logic, and open source systems, like the Internet, are more prosperous than the central premise. For every developer, there is not only infinite possibilities, but also unlimited possibilities. No barriers, no restricted areas, no most heinous stupefying policy!

The open source world is humane because she really respects developers as people.
