Who wants to try Linux?

by Syahrul Azlan

Linux has been something like monotony nowadays. Its fame makes it being the talk of the town - various Linux downloads, Linux programs, etc… And what’s great about this is - it’s all for free! However, free programs or software would always come to an end due to the rising number of users as well as the demands them constantly plea. There will really come a time that some of them will be priced just right for its effectiveness and usage. But that won’t tremble any of the existing and satisfied users of Linux because they already know how great it is to use such system.

Many of these users have actually migrated from their previous operating system and you can hear a lot of comment from them. One particular lady in a workplace complained that she is getting annoyed and quite fed up with how her present operating system works and she’s thinking of migrating to Linux. Well, I guess the migration is sure very fast for she’s not using Linux software.

But before you go through, you ought to know more things about Linux. First thing must be you need to take a look if your present software is compatible to the new operating system, will it be more intuitive, user-friendly and worry-free. If you have this thing you can now decide what the next thing to do is.

With Linux, mostly of the software is actually for free. But are you don’t bother with this? Have you ever asked yourself if it is safe? Because a according to another colleague, you need to watch out if you’re planning to use Linux. The more “freebie” it becomes, the more it is prone to some viruses or malicious software or programs something like that.

Another thing to consider is the commands that Linux has. Since it is new, there’s a possibility that some of its commands are different from your old OS. You have to get familiar with it first and then see to it that it has some sort of a familiar environment with your previous operating system. In that way, you won’t be caught something like grasping for breath because you have experienced a shock after suddenly switching to something you aren’t familiar with yet. So, it would be better to check everything out in order to get all things done - safely.

However, if you are confident enough and ready to try something new, go for it be “in” but make sure that you choose the positive side of the fence in which everyone is talking about. So far, for the many of us, although some of Linux software are still free to use and or free to download it is still very friendly to use and friendly on the budget as well.

The first best thing that you should do is to read more reviews. Go to sites that has recommendations and some know-hows about Linux and it’s corresponding software. Find out if your present programs can work with Linux. Users of the other OS sometimes complain about little things like how their pretty and petty card game can’t work on Linux!

To finish this off, it will make sense to weigh all the odds and to consider the possibilities first before deciding to switch for Linux. A dissatisfied OS user (of another system) may opt for Linux to try its proficiency and effectiveness. He may go through a lot of new commands to learn and get familiar with, yet the important thing is, he is happy and comfortable with his choice. Well, the bottom lines for this is - if you are already fed up with what you currently have and is already annoyed of its performance, then why stick to that when you have greater options to choose from? So to speak, Linux may have been waiting for you all along.
