The last survey we did in these pages left a few things very clear: GNU / Linux is a system that covers well the needs of many users . At the same time, there are important factors that need improvement to extend its benefits to the public, with games, key proprietary applications and peripheral hardware support and the most crucial.

What’s the

remove the item again? For today I read a couple of items that complement each other and would like to discuss here. In the first the author wonders if the usability has been a handicap for the adoption of Linux on the desktop . You may have some underlying reason, but what has gone wrong, very wrong.

The problem with the exhibition that is based on personal experience, is precisely that it is too focused on their own experiences. For example, says it is using Linux since he had his first PC, about four years ago and since then has only used Fedora.

So, throw statements like that “ Linux users have to learn to use text editors and edit the configuration files of the system “. He also cites other impediments, such as the availability of no “extras ” owners (drivers, codecs, etc.) which the user has to fend for installation. It focuses on representing can update the system every six months to find new bugs, among other issues.

The truth is that an article might have been acceptable if he had published as a personal opinion about their experience with Fedora, instead of trying to open a debate on GNU / Linux in general, letting unqualified statements only able to stop questioning their knowledge on the subject.

And here arises

the second article, you will find in Xenode Systems, where the author explains what it Fedora and what not . Because sometimes people get confused, and as Fedora is “large”, it will serve as Ubuntu, Mandriva or OpenSUSE, right? Well, no. Or not for everyone.
