Re: linux users, what do you like about it
For me, it's a few things.
- The package managers :: I seriously love having just one stop to install everything, well just about everything, update just about everything, and remove everything. And once something is removed, it's pretty well gone, nothing left by maybe the config files.
- Emacs :: I love Emacs. Well, mostly because of:
- Emacspeak :: Emacspeak is pretty amazing, and makes computing actually fun and rather easy once you get used to it.
- It makes sense :: Once you dive in, the file system, system processes, and everything that makes your system tick, makes sense, and it is open to you. Don't want something starting up when you boot the computer? Systemd has you covered. Want something starting up? systemctl enable something. Of course, there are issues, lack of a great sound enhancement system, lack of a good system-wide spell checker, all that, but all in all, it works great.
- Configurations are easily reproducible :: If you find someone's config file on the Internet, you can just install the program and copy the configuration file to wherever the program expects it, and you're good. This is really great for getting back up and running if you have to reinstall your OS, too.
- All the tools :: You may be able to get by with WSL, and if so, shoot for it. But I like to have one unified system, not Windows and a Linux kernel on the same computer, with communication at the barest of essentials needed to get a little stuff done.
So yeah, that is some reasons why I love Linux, and keep coming back to it time and time again.
