Linux gives me all the tools I need
==========================================

[Linux][0] is all around us. It's [on our phones][1] in the form of Android. It's [used on the International Space Station][2]. It [provides much of the backbone of the Internet][3]. And yet many people never notice it. Discovering Linux is a rewarding endeavor. Lots of other people have [shared their Linux stories][4] on Opensource.com, and now it's my turn.
I still remember when I first discovered Linux in 2008. The person who helped me discover Linux was my father, Socrates Ballais. He was an economics professor here in Tacloban City, Philippines. He was also a technology enthusiast. He taught me a lot about computers and technology, but only advocated using Linux as a fallback operating system in case Windows fails.
### My earliest days
Before we had a computer in the home, I was a Windows user. I played games, created documents, and did all the other things kids do with computers. I didn't know what Linux was or what it was used for. The Windows logo was my symbol for a computer.
When we got our first computer, my father installed Linux ([Ubuntu][5] 8.04) on it. Being the curious kid I was, I booted into the operating system. I was astonished with the interface. It was beautiful. I found it to be very user friendly. For some time, all I did in Ubuntu was play the bundled games. I would do my school work in Windows.
### The first install
Four years later, I decided that I would reinstall Windows on our family computer. Without hesitation, I also decided to install Ubuntu. With that, I had fallen in love with Linux (again). Over time, I became more adept with Ubuntu and would casually advocate its use to my friends. When I got my first laptop, I installed it right away.
### Today
Today, Linux is my go-to operating system. When I need to do something on a computer, I do it in Linux. For documents and presentations, I use Microsoft Office via [Wine][6]. For my web needs, there's [Chrome and Firefox][7]. For email, there's [Geary][8]. You can do pretty much everything with Linux.
Most, if not all, of my programming work is done in Linux. The lack of a standard Integrated Development Environment (IDE) like [Visual Studio][9] or [XCode][10] taught me to be flexible and learn more things as a programmer. Now a text editor and a compiler/interpreter are all I need to start coding. I only use an IDE in cases when it's the best tool for accomplishing a task at hand. I find Linux to be more developer-friendly than Windows. To generalize, Linux gives me all the tools I need to develop software.
Today, I am the co-founder and CTO of a startup called [Creatomiv Studios][11]. I use Linux to develop code for the backend server of our latest project, Basyang. I'm also an amateur photographer, and use [GIMP][12] and [Darktable][13] to edit and manage photos. For communication with my team, I use [Telegram][14].
### The beauty of Linux
Many may see Linux as an operating system only for those who love solving complicated problems and working on the command line. Others may see it as a rubbish operating system lacking the support of many companies. However, I see Linux as a thing of beauty and a tool for creation. I love Linux the way it is and hope to see it continue to grow.

Linux 给了我所有所需的工具
==========================================
![](https://opensource.com/sites/default/files/styles/image-full-size/public/images/business/OPENHERE_blue.png?itok=3eqp-7gT)
[Linux][0] 就在我们身边。它以 Android 的形式[存在我们的手机中][1],它[在国际空间站中被使用][2],它[还是互联网的主要支柱][3],可是迄今为止很多人从未留意过它。对 Linux 的探索是一种很有成就感的尝试。很多人都在 Opensource.com [分享过他们与 Linux 的故事][4]。现在,轮到我了。
我依然记得我在 2008 年第一次探索 Linux 的时刻。协助我探索 Linux 的人是我的父亲Socrates Ballais。他是菲律宾塔克洛班的一名经济学专家也是一个技术狂热者。他教会了我许多计算机技术方面的知识但只提倡我将 Linux 作为 Windows 崩溃后的备用操作系统。
### 从前的日子
在我们在家中购置电脑之前,我曾是一个 Windows 用户。我使用电脑玩游戏,制作文档,做那些小孩子都会用电脑做的事。我不知道什么是 Linux更不知道它的用处。在那个时候电脑在我心中的象征就是一个 Windows 的商标。
当我们买到第一台电脑时,我爸爸在上面安装了 Linux ([Ubuntu][5] 8.04)。充满了好奇心的我,第一次引导进入了那个操作系统。我被它的用户界面震惊了。它非常漂亮,而且我发现它对用户很友好。在那之后的一段时间,我只会使用 Linux 它内置的几款游戏。我还是会在 Windows 中做我的家庭作业。
### 第一次安装
4 年后,我决定为家里的电脑重新安装 Windows。我同时毫不犹豫地安装了 Ubuntu。从那次开始再次爱上了 Linux。随着时间推移我慢慢适应了 Ubuntu还会无意地将它推荐给我的朋友。当我拿到我的第一台笔记本电脑时我立刻在上面安装了它。
### 现在
如今Linux 是我的默认操作系统。当我需要使用电脑做一些工作时,我会在 Linux 中完成。至于文档和幻灯片,我会通过 [Wine][6] 来使用微软的 Office 办公软件。我会用 [Chrome 和 Firefox][7] 来满足我的上网需要,会用 [Geary][8] 来收发邮件。你可以使用 Linux 来做很多很多事情。
我的大多数——并不是全部——编程工作都会在 Linux 中完成。像 [Visual Studio][9] 和 [XCode][10] 这样的基本集成开发环境 (IDE) 的缺乏教会我这个程序员如何变得灵活、如何去学习更多知识。现在,我只需要一个文本编辑器和一个编译器/解释器就可以开始编程。只有当 IDE 是我完成手头上的任务的最佳最佳工具时我才会使用它。总而言之Linux 给了我开发软件所需要的一切工具。
现在,我是一个名叫 [Creatomiv Studios][11] 的初创公司的联合创始人和首席技术官。我使用 Linux 来编写我们的最新产品 Basyang 的后端服务器代码。我还是一个业余摄影家,使用 [GIMP][12] 和 [Darktable][13] 来编辑、管理照片。至于团队沟通,我会使用 [Telegram][14]。
### Linux 之美
很多人认为 Linux 只是为那些喜欢解决复杂问题或者在命令行中工作的人而生的操作系统。还有些人会认为它就是一个缺乏公司支持维护的垃圾。不过,我认为 Linux 是一个完美的操作系统,也是一个为创造而生的绝佳工具。所以我热爱 Linux同时希望看到它继续成长。
