Editor to share with you what is wrong with GNU/Linux, I believe most people do not know much about it, so share this article for your reference, I hope you can learn a lot after reading this article, let's go to know it!

First of all, I can be sure that the content mentioned in this article will lead to a heated debate, from the previous article that I hate GNU/Linux for five reasons-what about you, love or hate? This can be seen in the comment area at the bottom of the page.

Therefore, I do not use the word "hate hate" here, which makes me feel very uncomfortable, so I think it is more appropriate to use "do not like dislike" instead.

In other words, please keep in mind that the views in the article are entirely based on my own and my own experience, and these ideas and experiences may be similar to or very different from those of others.

In addition, I also realized that these so-called dislikes of dislike are related to experience, and that's what Linux looks like. However, it is these facts that prevent new users from making the decision to migrate the system.

As in the past, feel free to leave comments and discuss them, or put forward any other points that are consistent with the topic of this article.

One of the reasons why you don't like it: moving from Windows to Linux is a steep learning curve for users.

If using Windows has become an indispensable part of your life, you must get used to and understand concepts such as remote repository repository, dependency dependency, package package and package manager package manager before installing a new software on a Linux computer.

Soon you will also find it difficult to install a program simply by clicking on an executable program with the mouse. Or for some reason, you don't have an available network, so installing the software you want can be a very tiring task.

The second reason for dislike: it is still difficult to learn and use independently.

Similar reason one, in fact, at the beginning of independent learning Linux knowledge, many people will think that it is a huge challenge. Although there are tens of millions of tutorials and a large number of good books online, beginners will also get tired of choice difficulties and don't know where to start.

In addition, countless community forums (such as linuxsay.com) have a large number of experienced users who provide free solutions (usually like this), but unfortunately, the answers to these questions are not entirely credible or do not match the experience and knowledge of new users, making it impossible for users to understand.

In fact, because there are so many distribution series and their derivative versions available, it is necessary to pay third parties to guide us to the Linux world and to understand the similarities and differences between these distribution series.

Reason 3: new and old system / software migration problem

Once you have made up your mind to start using Linux, whether at home or in the office, whether personal or enterprise, you need to completely migrate from the old system to the new system, and then consider the replacement products of the software you have used on the Linux platform over the years.

And this is really contradictory, especially when faced with many different programs of the same type (such as text processors, relational database systems, graphics suites, etc.) without professional guidance and training. so many people can't make up their mind about which one to use.

Unless there are honorable and experienced users or instructional videos for guidance, there are too many software examples for users to choose from, which can really lead people into a misunderstanding.

Reason 4: lack of driver support from hardware manufacturers

I'm afraid no one can deny the fact that Linux has a long history, and its kernel versions have been released for more than 20 years. (LCTT translation note: it is nearly 26 years, 1991.10.05-2017.02. I believe that many of us Linux users were not born when the kernel versions were released, including the translator.) As more and more device drivers are compiled into the stable kernel released each time, and more and more manufacturers begin to support the research and development of Linux-compatible device drivers, Linux users no longer often encounter abnormal device operation, but occasionally.

And if you need a special device for your personal computing or corporate business, but don't happen to have an off-the-shelf Linux driver, you'll have to be stuck in Windows or other systems with driver support.

Although you often remind yourself, "closed-source software is fucking evil!", there is closed-source software, and unfortunately, we are forced to use it in most cases because of commercial needs.

Reason 5: the main power of Linux still lies in the server

To put it this way, the main reason I joined the Linux camp was that many years ago, it brought an old computer to life and made it work properly. It took me a while to solve the problems encountered in one and two of the reasons I didn't like, and I was very happy after successfully using a 566 MHz Cy Young processor, 10 GB IDE hard disk, and a machine with only 256 MB memory to build a home file / print / Web server with Debian Squeeze.

I was pleasantly surprised when I found that even under a high load, htop showed that the system resource consumption was barely half.

You may have been asking yourself again and again, why mention these things when it is clearly said that you don't like Linux? The answer is simple. I need a better Linux desktop distribution to run on a relatively old computer. Of course, I don't expect a distribution to run on computers with the above-mentioned hardware features, but I do not find any good-looking customizable desktop system that can run on computers with less than 1 GB of memory, which is probably slower than Snotlout.
