Fedora review on Distrowatch and RHEL family folly

[aurel]

Well i am not real Linux user and i probably never be
but i like gistro-distro-mumbo-jumbo hop...
i like to try to see what people do...  

well i try MX Linux 19.4 ,,,not work on my old comp with 2gb ram then i go back
and try MX Linux 17.1  HORIZON ..and voila ...all work really really smooth and good  
i still don't try any programming in qb64 or FB but i will

From my experience, most folks are either Windows-users or else they're Linux-hoppers.  When someone jumps from Windows for whatever reason, it tends to signify that they're not content with anything less than what they consider "perfection".  Windows spies on you!  It's resource heavy!  Slow!  Hard to navigate in Explorer!  Whatever their gripe is -- and it's often several things -- they decide to change over to Linux...

So they start with Mint or Ubuntu... but it's too much like Windows!  Then to LinusXYZdistro which promises to be 1/10th as resource extensive -- but it won't work with their microphone or camera or headphones or....   So on to the next version which is supposed to be better -- except it doesn't do hardware acceleration right or screen scaling....  And on to...

Always looking for *perfection*, and never learning to work around any of the existing issues which they dislike. You show me a guy who says, "I use Linux," and I'll show you a guy who's used at least a half dozen different versions of Linux.

This is so spot on.

The thing I'll add is we kinda forget that computers are tools for getting things done. Ya know, actually look *through* the telescope once and a while instead of quarrel over its knobs, legs, skins, cuholders, and bluetooth signal. All the chatter about what system this-or-that person uses is about as useful to me as what underwear company they prefer. What are they doing with their tools? Creating code? Creating software? If they know what they're doing, that person's machine should have nothing to do with the shippable export. On the other hand, if the computer is just that person's life companion, then sure, seek her out in the machine, customize unto death.

customize unto death.

 yes ...most of time Linuxeros...rambling about customizations
