Linux, the Friendly Giant on Our Machines
Ah, Linux. It's likely that if you have any interest in tech, even just a little, you heard about it. Perhaps during a heated argument or whispered discussion at your favorite cafe. lugot.org It's "the best" one person shouts, and another replies, "It’s just too complicated." So what is the deal? What if we delve into the depths of this hidden gem?




Imagine a world in which you are handed your keys and told to "feel free to make any changes you want." Would you paint it pink? Go ahead. Turn it into a convertible? What's the problem? Linux can be compared to that. In the 90s it was a playground for digital toys. Unlike some operating systems, which are more like 'look, don't touch', Linux says, "Here's the code. Make it better. You can play around with it. Make it your own."


It's amazing how quickly the rest of the world embraced this offer. Seriously, it's everywhere! The Raspberry Pi is everywhere, from the giant Hollywood movie machines to tiny computers in basements. Who could ever forget the cute Raspberry Pi projects, right? Android phones? Linux beats at the heart of this phone.


Linux has all this awesome stuff, but what makes it so hot? It has a powerful defense system, which would be enough to make any medieval castle jealous. It's hard for bad software to get into it, because everyone can peek inside. Another fixes the weakness that someone found. The best of teamwork!


Ah, yes, that price. Linux, unlike most 'freebies' comes with no strings attached. Like, really, zero dollars. You'll be happy if you live on instant noodles as a college student or are running a start-up pinching your pennies.


The Linux tribe is the most exciting part! Imagine having a group of helpful elves at your disposal to offer assistance when you get stuck. You won't be able to find your socks but they will answer any Linux questions you may have.
