5 Reasons To Install Linux Today
|
||||
============================================================
|
||||
|
||||
If you are reading this article, chances are you are a new or prospective Linux user. Or perhaps you’re not – and are curious as to what I consider the 5 top reasons why someone would want to install Linux today.
|
||||
|
||||
Either way, you are welcome to join me as I do my best to explain. If you bear with me enough to reach the end of this post, feel free to add your own voice using the comment form below.
|
||||
|
||||
**Suggested Read:** [5 Things I Dislike and Love About GNU/Linux][1]
|
||||
|
||||
**DISCLAIMER**: The reasons below are not listed in any specific order of importance. That said, you can read them from top to bottom or the other way around – your choice.
|
||||
|
||||
### Reason #1 – Linux is Free
|
||||
|
||||
In the Linux ecosystem, the word **“free”** has two meanings: **1) Free as in freedom**, and **2) Free as in beer**. The first one refers to the freedom of doing whatever you wish with the operating system (for example, personal or commercial use).
|
||||
|
||||
The second is indicative of the fact that most (**99%**) Linux distributions (the “flavors” of Linux, so to speak) can be downloaded and used on as many computers at absolutely no cost.
|
||||
|
||||
**Suggested Read:** [Top Most Popular Linux Distributions of 2016][2]
|
||||
|
||||
Commercial distributions are sometimes preferred on enterprise environments due to the available support contracts offered by the companies behind them. Red Hat, Inc. with its superstar [Red Hat Enterprise Linux][3] is just an example.

||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
Linux is Free
|
||||
|
||||
### Reason #2 – Linux can Bring old Hardware back to Life
|
||||
|
||||
Yes, you read that right. If you have an old computer gathering dust because it no longer can afford the system requirements of other operating systems, Linux is here to save your day. And I speak out of experience on this: my first computer (a high school graduation present my mother gave me near the end of 2000) has now been running as a home server for 5 years now – always with the latest Debian stable release.

||||

||||
Linux Supports Old Hardware
|
||||
|
||||
### Reason #3 – Linux is the Best Tool to Learn How Computers Work
|
||||
|
||||
Even for new users, it is relatively easy to access information about and interact with the computer’s hardware. With [command-line tools][7] such as [dmesg][8] (which lists messages from the kernel) and a little patience, you can easily learn what happens internally since you press the power button until you get a fully-usable operating system. And that is just one example.

||||

||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
Learn Linux
|
||||
|
||||
### Reason #4 – Linux is the Best Tool to Get Started with Programming
|
||||
|
||||
I always say that I would have loved to have been introduced to Linux much earlier than I was. When the operating system is installed, it includes all the necessary tools to get started with [Python programming][10]. One of the most popular object-oriented programming languages in use today, Python is used to introduce computer science majors to programming in several top-notch universities.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Learn Linux + Python Programming
|
||||
|
||||
### Reason #5 – Lots (and I mean LOTS) of Free world-class Software
|
||||
|
||||
I know, I know. This item is closely related to **#1** but I decided to make it a separate one. Why? Because it highlights the fact that the software available for Linux today is mostly made possible by a large army of volunteers.
|
||||
|
||||
Yes – people who write outstanding software without making a quarter out of it. In some cases, there are companies providing the funds for the development and maintenance of the software.

||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
The operating system is so stable that they want to make sure their software runs on it. That is why large companies make substantial contributions (in terms of donations or manpower) to the Linux ecosystem.

##### Summary

||||
Thank you for taking the time to read this post! Please note that I’ve done my best to describe the reasons I would give to someone considering using Linux for the first time.

当今需要安装 Linux 的五大理由
|
||||
===========================
|
||||
|
||||
如果你在阅读本文，那么你可能是一个 Linux 新手或者是 Linux 的潜在用户。又或者我猜的都不是，你只是好奇于我所说的当今需要安装 Linux 的五大理由。
|
||||
|
||||
不管如何，我都欢迎你来看看我做出的解释。如果说你能够读完全文，记得使用下边的评论功能分享你的想法。
|
||||
|
||||
**建议阅读：** [关于 GNU/Linux，我所喜恶的五件事][1]
|
||||
|
||||
**声明**：以下列出的理由并非按照重要性顺序排列。也就是说，你可以从上到下或者以你愿意的顺序来进行阅读。
|
||||
|
||||
### 理由 1 – Linux 自由、免费
|
||||
|
||||
在 Linux 这个生态系统中，**“自由、免费 (free)”** 有两种含义：**1) 自由使用** 以及 **2) 免费使用**。
|
||||
|
||||
第一个含义意味着，你可以自由使用 Linux 做你想要的任何事，比如个人使用或者商业用途。
|
||||
|
||||
第二个含义表明这样一个事实，多数 (**99%**) 的 Linux 发行版 (或者说，不同风格的 Linux) 都可以免费的下载和运行在电脑上。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**建议阅读：** [2016 年最流行的 Linux 发行版][2]
|
||||
|
||||
商业发行版经常应用到企业环境，以便获取其后公司的技术支持。红帽公司著名的 [红帽企业级 Linux][3] 就是这样一个例子。
|
||||
|
||||
[][4]
|
||||
|
||||
Linux 自由、免费
|
||||
|
||||
### 理由 2 – Linux 可以使老旧设备起死回生
|
||||
|
||||
是的，你没看错。如果你有一部老旧电脑已经步入尘土，因为它已经无法满足其他操作系统的硬件要求，那么 Linux 可以帮你拯救它。以我的经验来说，我第一台电脑 (2000 年末，我母亲给我的高中毕业礼物) 作为家庭服务器已经连续运行 5 年了 —— 一直在使用 Debian 最新的稳定版。
|
||||
|
||||
**建议阅读：** [老旧电脑和笔记本值得尝试的 6 个 Linux 发行版][5]
|
||||
|
||||
[][6]
|
||||
|
||||
Linux 支持老旧设备
|
||||
|
||||
### 理由 3 – Linux 是学习计算机网络的最好工具
|
||||
|
||||
即使是新手，访问电脑硬件信息并进行交换也是相当容易的。通过诸如 [dmesg][8] (从内核中列出相关信息) 等 [命令行工具][7]加上一点耐心，你可以很容易了解从你按下电源开关到加载好一个完整可用的系统到底发生了那些事情。当然，这只是其中一个例子。
|
||||
|
||||
[][9]
|
||||
|
||||
学习 Linux
|
||||
|
||||
### 理由 4 – Linux 是学习编程的最好工具
|
||||
|
||||
我常常说，要是我早些认识 Linux 该多好。安装好系统之后，它就具备了开始学习 [Python 编程][10] 的必备工具。作为当今最流行的面向对象的编程语言之一，Python 在多所顶尖大学里都是计算机科学专业的主修课程。
|
||||
|
||||
[][11]
|
||||
|
||||
学习 Linux 及 Python 编程
|
||||
|
||||
### 理由 5 – 大量自由的世界一流软件
|
||||
|
||||
当然，我知道这与 **理由 1** 多少有些相似，但我还是决定将其列为一个独立的理由。为何？因为这为我们强调了这样一个事实，我们今天所使用的软件大多数是来自于大量自愿者的努力。
|
||||
|
||||
是的，优秀的软件开发人员所占比例不到四分之一。在某些情况下，也有些公司为软件的开发和维护提供资金。
|
||||
|
||||
**建议阅读：** [2015 年我找到的 20 款自由开源的软件][12]
|
||||
|
||||
Linux 系统是相当稳定的，所以他们都想要将他们的软件运行其中。这就是为什么很多公司愿意为 Linux 生态系统做出大量贡献的原因 (为了得到捐赠或者人才)。
|
||||
|

自由开源软件
