    10 Luxuries Only Linux Users Will Understand

    Hey everyone. Sort of new to the forums but definitely not new to ubuntu. I recently made a fairly entertainting post about the reasons why I love Linux.. and the buntu family the most. Check it out here out MakeTheBestOf. If you read at the bottom of the page, I challenged my readers to install a-buntu on a Linux newbs device (with their permission) and snap a photo to post in. So I'm extending it here. Thanks everyone

    Erik

    you know what the best part is?
    turning on your computer and not having 5 apps open a window telling you you need to update them and trying to install X toolbar or Y browser or run Z scan
    Laptop: ASUS A54C-NB91 (Storage: WD3200BEKT + MKNSSDCR60GB-DX); Desktop: Custom Build - Images included; rPi Server

    The link does work; it's all stuff we do already know, but it might be illuminating for those who are still struggling with Windows 8, or 7 for that matter.

    The biggest pain about Windows is the requirement to reboot after "system updates." And if you don't reboot, Windows will go ahead and do it for you, whether that's a good idea or not.

    There are many, many other pains, but at least when we get an upgrade which requires a reboot, we can keep using the computer for hours or days and reboot when we want to reboot. What a concept.

    Still doesn't work on my end, but it sounds like I am not missing much.

    I think the biggest luxury is that Linux and Ubuntu plain work. Don't get me wrong they have their hiccups as does any human made thing. However I have always been able to find an answer that works. Also while an app may not work it does not bork my whole machine. Lastly I have never been faced with a linux machine that had an app that was not working and been told that I would have to buy an new app. While doing so the new app also had the same problem. Go figure. Why break a window when you can simply open a door and see the light! The Linux Light shines bright.

    Oh and since I have found Linux, I will never again support Windows. I build my own comps and will no longer by any kind of Windows for them.
