In past, i was never a Linux fan..Reasons were many: Win XP had just mesmerized me at that time..it was a Windows era completely in Desktop Computing, then the ease of installation of softwares, and indeed my refusal to acknowledge the power of Linux..
But with time, perceptions do change and now i believe thats Windows has some serious competition lying ahead in very near future. The stage is set where Linus Torvalds mind creation with the support of a large community of hard working Linux developers has reached a position where there is no looking backwards.
Its really astonishing that Linux provides everything for free for which people have to spend quite a bit of money to use one of the most famous OS legally speaking. The extensive set of free software support from a large number of repositories almost provide everything one can dream of. There were some doubts whether Linux would ever catch Windows or Mac in terms of Look and Feel but this doubt is dead now..
The GNOME and KDE desktop environment have come a long way in improving their looks, and with the arrival of Compiz 3D Graphics acceleration package using OpenGL..its a terrific combination. I dont want to go for any comparison but Linux provides a lot of tweaking in terms of effects and Look and Feel, and who is going to complain when one gets splendid effects for free...
So i sincerely believe that now its time for even the die-hard Windows fans to have a decent look towards Linux..it will only make you wonder with the power you will have! !
I hope that in some of my upcoming posts, i will be able to write more about Linux so that i can contribute to this great movement..Thanks alot for reading!!
