I've said for years that Linux works for grandmothers, and for me (and a bunch of others).
It doesn't work for people who:
- need a locally installed copy of MS Office or other Windows only software
- IT admins that stopped learning a long time ago
- etc
As others point out, for som of us using Windows or Mac is a hassle. They're slow (30% longer compile cycles, don't even get me started on git), missing important customizability,m no built in universal package management etc.
- kkarakk 8y agohow is git faster on linux?
- spacenick88 8y agoWindows has abysmal performance in its equivalent of the VFS layer i.e. path handling, directory listings and so on. Funnily enough the main reason is probably that compiling the Linux kernel is one of the most filesystem taxing workloads and also one of those kernel developers care most about.
