Why I Like Linux
back to homeaka why I don't like Windows.
First of all: it's a very selfish and non-technical reason.
It's mostly dumb because I couldn't figure out how to work with Windows: when I first became interested in computers and the idea of being able to write code and do more with them, Windows presented me with nothing but constant roadblocks. I wasn't allowed to do much by default and learning how to do anything on the computer beyond the graphical desktop seemed to be very taboo and against some set of rules.
When I first found out about Linux, it felt somehow inviting as soon as I began reading through the installation instructions I found. Interaction via the command line wasn't against the rules, it was the de-facto standard. Finding information was easy, getting help was easy. Learning about the operating system and running code on top of it almost seemed like a default. Since then I've learned that this is why the system exists in the first place, not like Windows where using the OS is secondary to sales that support the existence of Outlook/Exchange, Powerpoint, Excel, Word, and a browser.
That's it. When I wanted to learn how computers worked, Linux invited me in and offered tons of documentation where Windows wagged a finger and seemed to say 'thou shalt not ask such stupid questions of how or why.'
