Still wearing the 'L' plate

Reviewed on 2020-08-05T19:22:32

Using Linux, turns medium-specification computers into super-machines, due to lightweight system-architecture.And is all about customisation-possibilities, for the amateur tinkerer, to the programmer wishing to build the machine from basic instalments, upwards, and with so many operating systems - mostly for free - to choose from, and optional 'environments' either advertised in advance and ready for download, or that one can eventually integrate, each with their own look and feel, it appears that there is pretty much nothing as-of-yet devised computer-wise that one cannot achieve with Linux. Something else interesting, is that each distribution has its own definite concept behind it, which one can keep to or tweak to the point of a newly revised personal touch. The libraries of programs are also comprehensive to say the least, each with their own repositories. Again, free. There is also instant and reliable device-integration for internet, streaming and storage functionality. Another nice element is VirtualBox, which one can use to run other operating systems, including Windows (not Mac). Therefore, if one wishes to try out other Linux 'distros', and run applications from sources other than those from within Linux, one can do so that way. So why is Linux still behind Apple. A Linux 'distro' made the machine I am using into a reliable and power-resourceful computer that looks as if it will last forever and a day. The lag, however, is because of two simple things called 'catch up' and 'choice': catch-up, because, despite being able to carry out all the same tasks as the bigger Windows/Mac applications such as Adobe, the apps are not as intuitive to use - if one is a Linux expert then I am sure that such a person could make these systems do whatever they want and for whichever specialist field, but from a non-engineer's point-of-view, I would say that the lack of rights to big-corporation program-integration is an immediate disadvantage; choice, because sometimes less is more, and this is not to say that I think Windows or Mac are better in that concern, quite the opposite - not really offering enough in terms of personal customisation preferences - and yet there is a certain confidence in design-production that shows, with a properly conceptualised and produced package. Amongst the cool things that one can do with docks and backgrounds and whatever else, there are a lot of optional elements that I would never associate with the computer-technology medium - such as colour-themes for window appearance - much of which, I actually found to be quite nauseously head-achey. The options are exciting and one can go to great lengths to find and easily download whatever one wants, the experience, though, not always matching up to a professional level. In other ways, I don't think Linux goes far enough. Sound-effects options, for example, are an immediate issue, also limited on Windows and Macs - sound-effects can bring a computer to life. I do like the way that the OS' inspire command-line usage with use of the Terminal. And the various ways to download whatever one needs and to update and even upgrade the system is a positive. Overall, Linux is a major resource and can make any PC into a really great multi-faceted tool. Never having been an industry-leader means that Linux doesn't seem market-driven in a way that speaks direction and focus, and so the 'four' is a weak-four compared to Mac. Also (going a bit out of my depth here), although the Linux kernel is used in Android smartphones, there is a lack of opportunity taken in that specific (cross-platform) industry, too, which is an area in need of filling. It would be useful for Linux (other than just the Ubuntu option) to make OS' for smartphones. Of course, the exciting world of Linux is for the most part completely opensource (free) - put together by those who wish to contribute - and so, therefore, not much room for complaining, and why do so, when the operating systems are getting better and better over time. Because I am admittedly more passionate about the business and corporate world, can admit that paid-for services are ultimately far more polished, yet running Linux still, at present, am anything but disappointed, having found the experience inspiring, with the laptop in use running like a dream, as a fun to use and much faster machine than one might expect for its date of production.
