Some feelings of using Linux system for many years

This article is not a discussion of linux and windows who is good and who is bad, or the saying: “suitable for their own is the best in their own eyes”, here to avoid the logical thinking of technical developers, not to speak of high theory and various terms, I just write from the user’s point of view on the level of my feelings.

When I was in college, because of the development project needs, I generally installed windows XP system on the hard disk, and later because of the need to study, I installed a virtual machine on xp, hanging a Fedora Linux system, at that time will toss ARM9 development board, toss cross-compilation environment and linux C programming. Despite the tossing and turning, but ultimately the Linux system to my feeling is very unhappy, the biggest unhappiness is that it does not allow me to complete the development work smoothly. At the same time, because of the variety of software is too little, and then also is not to end …

After graduation, I began a new round of tossing, one of the most depressing is due to my overconfidence, the day I drank two glasses of red wine in the experience of the latest version of Fedora, hand shaking, all the data in the hard disk grid off, recovered a long time, the cost is relatively heavy.

That is the beginning of that time, I will windows 7 system expelled from my laptop, and later windows 8, windows 8.1 out, occasionally installed a virtual machine to experience the next, feel unattractive. Since then, the Linux system has officially accompanied me to today…

There are several reasons why I hate windows.
I found that the capacity of the laptop system disk is always expanding, and this expansion is silent, so I feel very insecure; although all this can be solved by dividing a sufficient hard disk space, but I am very disgusted that I have to constantly optimize the disk fragmentation space. 2.
The rogue software always runs in the background of the laptop, even if it runs in the background, the key is also easy for me to find. What I can’t stand is that some malicious software will, without the user’s knowledge, maliciously bundle a bunch of applications that quietly reside in the laptop to steal the user’s data.
The application will be hundreds of megabytes, or even several G. 4.
4. windows system is always in constant patching, boot always in constant update, and also often habitually crash, or stuck, especially when doing design.
5. in windows to install any one of the antivirus I do not feel safe. 6.
6. very disgusted with the endless pop-up windows ！！！！
7. every installation of windows, I have to do a lot of streamlining and optimization.

Of course there are many reasons ……

After using the Linux system, I began to marvel at the great design philosophy of the Linux system, and began to like the system. One very important point is that I feel in the world of linux, my laptop clean a lot, get rid of the windows system under the dozens of G applications, I found that linux software and tools are very small and refined.

Now when I think about it, the reason I felt unhappy with linux was because I was in a world where the usage rate of the windows system reached almost 100%, so I couldn’t sink my teeth into it and was actually beaten down easily by a few dependent sources. So, I felt that linux was very bad.

Later, Linux has completed almost all my daily needs, here will be some of my usual more frequent use of software listed.
