EVE General Discussion

Linux has an important issue it seems not willing to take care of and could, at some point, make out of it a dinosaur.


Common language, common maths. Doesn't mean we have to be all white/black tall/pretty have nice cars or be poor, all speak english russian or mandarin only, just means the larger number speak and understand a common language the faster the group evolves.

This is true in many domains, computer and OS crap also, in this specific case Linux has an issue and will stay marginal because it's not a common language everyone in whatever place on earth can understand.
Linux like many other OS or programs is not bad, it's just not meant (atm) to be the OS everyone and his cat wants at home because it's easy, functional, nice looking (it's important) organized is some manner you'll always find or do what you have to because even a kid can understand the organization and basics.

And if this program continues to be more marginalized than it should be it's also because everyone knows if you have issues, before you get your stuff sorted you'll get headaches and loose all will to live before the uber linux nerds rage falls over you to tell you how bad you are without providing you any information that might solve your issue.
This is a poor human behavior but very typical in linux forums when you ask for help, not all of course.

Anyway there's a common platform everyone and his cat is able to work on, learn easily from it, use it, communicate with every one at the other side of the world without being a special nerd, Mr Random or John Doe click and go and it works, it's WIn platforms and at some extent Mac (less), this is a huge step not meaning win is the best of all OSs, just the one everyone can understand and easily adapt that's why its so great.
