21 reasons why I think everyone should try Linux
======
Gaming, business, budgeting, art, programming, and more. These are just
a few of the many ways anyone can use Linux.
![Linux keys on the keyboard for a desktop computer][1]
When I go on holiday, I often end up at one or more used bookstores. I always find a good book I've been meaning to read, and I always justify the inevitable purchase by saying, "I'm on vacation; I should treat myself to this book." It works well, and I've acquired some of my favorite books this way. Yet, like so many traditions in life, it doesn't hold up to scrutiny. In reality, I don't need an excuse to buy a good book. All things being equal, I can do it any time I want. But having a reason does seem to make the process more enjoyable, somehow.
In my everyday life, I get a lot of questions about Linux. When caught unaware, I sometimes awkwardly ramble on about the history of open source software or the intellectual and economic benefits of sharing resources. Sometimes, I manage to mention some of my favorite features I enjoy on Linux and then end up reverse-engineering those benefits so they can be enjoyed on another operating system. These discussions are usually enjoyable and informative, but there's just one problem: None of it answers the question that people are really asking.
When a person asks you about Linux, they're often asking you to give them a reason to try it. There are exceptions, of course. People who have never heard the term "Linux" are probably asking for a literal definition of the word. But when your friends and colleagues confide that they're a little dissatisfied with their current operating system, it's probably safe to explain why you enjoy Linux, rather than lecturing them on why Linux is a better option than proprietary systems. In other words, you don't need a sales presentation; you need vacation photos (or used books you bought on vacation, if you're a bookworm).
To that end, the links below connect to 21 reasons I enjoy Linux, given to 21 separate people on 21 separate occasions.
### Gaming
![Gaming on Linux][2]
(Seth Kenlon, [CC BY-SA 4.0][3])
When it comes to enjoying a computer, one of the most obvious activities is gaming, and when it comes to gaming, I love it all. I'm happy to spend an evening playing an 8-bit puzzler or a triple-A studio epic. Other times, I settle in for a board game or a tabletop role-playing game (RPG).
And I [do it all on a Linux computer][4].
### Office
![LibreOffice][5]
(Seth Kenlon, [CC BY-SA 4.0][3])
One size doesn't fit all. This is as true for hats as it is for office work. It pains me to see colleagues locked into a singular workflow that doesn't suit them, and I enjoy the way Linux encourages users to find tools they love. I've used office applications ranging from big suites (like LibreOffice and OpenOffice) to lightweight word processors (such as Abiword) to minimal text editors (with Pandoc for conversion).
Regardless of what users around me are locked into, I have [the freedom to use the tools that work best][6] on my computer and with the way I want to work.
### Choice
![Linux login screen][7]
(Seth Kenlon, [CC BY-SA 4.0][3])
One of open source's most valuable traits is the trust it allows users to have in the software they use. This trust is derived from a network of friends who can read the source code of the applications and operating systems they use. That means, even if you don't know good source code from bad, you can make friends within the [open source community][8] who do. These are important connections that Linux users can make as they explore the distribution they run. If you don't trust the community that builds and maintains a distribution, you can and should move to a different distribution. Many of us have done it, and it's one of the strengths of having many distros to choose from.
[Linux offers choice][9] as a feature. A strong community, filled with real human connections, combined with the freedom of choice that Linux provides all give users confidence in the software they run. Because I've read some source code, and because I trust the people who maintain the code I haven't read, [I trust Linux][10].
### Budgeting
![Skrooge][11]
(Seth Kenlon, [CC BY-SA 4.0][3])
Budgeting isn't fun, but it's important. I learned early, while working menial jobs as I learned a _free_ operating system (Linux!) in my free time, that a budget isn't meant to track your money so much as it tracks your habits. That means that whether you're living paycheck to paycheck or you're well on the way to planning your retirement, you should [maintain a budget][12].
If you're in the United States, you can even [pay your taxes on Linux][13].
### Art
![MyPaint][14]
(Dogchicken, [CC BY-SA 4.0][3])
It doesn't matter whether you paint or do pixel art, [edit video][15], or scratch records, you can create great content on Linux. Some of the best art I've seen has been casually made with tools that aren't "industry standard," and it might surprise you just how much of the content you see is made the same way. Linux is a quiet engine, but it's a powerful one that drives indie artists as well as big producers.
Try using Linux [to create some art][16].
### Programming
![NetBeans][17]
(Seth Kenlon, [CC BY-SA 4.0][3])
Look, using Linux to program is almost a foregone conclusion. Second only to server administration, open source code and Linux are an obvious combination. There are [many reasons for this][18], but the one I cite is that it's just more fun. I run into plenty of roadblocks when inventing something new, so the last thing I need is for an operating system or software development kit (SDK) to be the reason for failure. On Linux, I have access to everything. Literally everything.
### Packaging
![Packaging GNOME software][19]
(Seth Kenlon, [CC BY-SA 4.0][3])
The thing nobody talks about when they tell you about programming is _packaging_. As a developer, you have to get your code to your users, or you won't have any users. Linux makes it easy for developers [to deliver apps][20] and easy for users to [install those applications][21].
It surprises many people, but [Linux can run many Windows applications][22] as if they were native apps. You shouldn't expect a Windows application to be executable on Linux. Still, many of the major common applications either already exist natively on Linux or else can be run through a compatibility layer called Wine.
### Technology
![Data center][23]
([Taylor Vick][24], [Unsplash License][25])
If you're looking for a career in IT, Linux is a great first step. As a former art student who stumbled into Linux to render video faster, I speak from experience!
Cutting-edge technology happens on Linux. Linux drives most of the internet, most of the world's fastest supercomputers, and the cloud itself. Today, Linux drives [edge computing][26], combining the power of cloud data centers with decentralized nodes for quick response.
You don't have to start at the top, though. You can learn to [automate][27] tasks on your laptop or desktop and remotely control systems with a [good terminal][28].
Linux is open to your new ideas and [available for customization][29].
### Share files
![Beach with cloudy sky][30]
(Seth Kenlon, [CC BY-SA 4.0][3])
Whether you're a fledgling sysadmin or just a housemate with files to distribute to friends, Linux makes [file sharing a breeze][31].
### Media
![Waterfall][32]
(Seth Kenlon, [CC BY-SA 4.0][3])
With all the talk about programming and servers, people sometimes envision Linux as just a black screen filled with green 1's and 0's. Unsurprisingly to those of us who use it, Linux [plays all your media][33], too.
### Easy install
![CentOS installation][34]
(Seth Kenlon, [CC BY-SA 4.0][3])
Never installed an operating system before? Linux is shockingly easy. Step-by-step, Linux installers hold your hand through an operating system installation to make you feel like a computer expert in under an hour.
[Go install Linux][35]!
### Try Linux
![Porteus][36]
(Seth Kenlon, [CC BY-SA 4.0][3])
If you're not ready to install Linux, then you can _try_ Linux instead. No idea where to start? It's less intimidating than you may think. Here are some [things you should consider first][37]. Then take your pick, download a distro, and come up with your own 21 reasons to use Linux.

每个人都应该尝试Linux的21个理由
======
玩游戏、交易、做预算、艺术、编程以及更多这些都只是任何人都可以使用Linux的众多方式中的一种。
![Linux keys on the keyboard for a desktop computer][1]
当我在度假时,我经常会去一家或者多家的二手书店。我经常能够找到我想读的一本好书,我总是通过这样说来证明买书是不可避免的:“我正在度假,我应该在书里度过。”这样很好,我用这种方式获得了一些我最喜欢的书。但是,买一本好书在生活中很常见,这个理由经不起推敲。事实上,我不需要为买一本好书来找理由。一切顺利的话,我可以做任何我想做的事。但不知何故,有一个理由似乎确实能让这个过程更有趣。
在我的日常生活中我会收到很多关于Linux的问题。当我不知道的时候我有时会笨拙地漫谈开源软件的历史或者共享资源的知识和利益。有时候我会设法提到一些我喜欢的Linux上的特性然后对这些好处进行逆向工程以便他们可以在其它的操作系统上享用。这些讨论经常是有趣且有益的但只有一个问题没有一个答案能够回答大家真实的问题。
当一个人问你关于Linux的问题时他们经常希望你能够给他们一些使用Linux的理由。当然也有例外。从来没有听过“Linux”的人们可能会问一些字面定义。但是当你的朋友或者同事吐露出他们对他们当前的操作系统有些不满意的时候解释你为什么喜欢Linux而不是告诉他们为什么Linux是一个比专有系统更好的选择可能会更安全。换句话说你不需要销售报告你需要的是度假照片如果你是个书虫的话也可以是度假时买的一本书
为了达到这个目的下面是我喜欢Linux的21个原因分别在21个不同的场合给了21个不同人。
### 玩游戏
![Gaming on Linux][2]
(Seth Kenlon, [CC BY-SA 4.0][3])
说到玩电脑最明显的活动之一就是玩游戏说到玩游戏我很喜欢。我很高兴话一个晚上玩一个8-bit的益智游戏或者epic工作室的一个AAA级游戏。其它时候我会选择桌面游戏或者角色扮演游戏RPG
这些我都是[在Linux系统的电脑上做的][4]。
### 方便办公的
![LibreOffice][5]
(Seth Kenlon, [CC BY-SA 4.0][3])
一种方法并不适合所有人。办公室工作和如何戴多个帽子一样。看到同事们被困在一个不适合他们的工作流程中我感到很痛苦不过我喜欢Linux鼓励用户找到他们喜欢的工具。我曾使用过的应用大到套件例如LibreOffice和OpenOffice小到轻量级的单词处理器如Abiword再到最小的文本编辑器利用Pandoc进行转换
不管我周围的用户被限制在什么范围内,我都可以[自由地使用可以在我的电脑上工作的最好的工具][6],并且以我希望的方式工作。
### 可选择的
![Linux login screen][7]
(Seth Kenlon, [CC BY-SA 4.0][3])
开源最有价值的特性之一是用户在使用这些软件的时候是可以信任它的。这种信任来自于好友网络,他们可以阅读他们所使用的应用程序和操作系统的源代码。也就是说,即使您不知道源代码的好坏,你也可以在[开源社区][8]中结交朋友。这些都是Linux用户在探索他们运行的发行版时可以建立的重要联系。如果你不信任这个社区构建和维护的发行版你可以去找其它的发行版。我们都是这样做的这是有许多发行版可供选择的优势之一。
[Linux提供了可选择的特性][9]。一个强大的社区充满了真实的人际关系结合Linux提供的选择自由所有这些都让用户对他们运行的软件有信心。因为我可以读到一些源码而且我信任哪些维护代码的人[所以我信任Linux][10]。
### 做预算
![Skrooge][11]
(Seth Kenlon, [CC BY-SA 4.0][3])
做预算不是有趣的,但是很重要。我很早就认识到,在业余时间做一些不起眼的工作,就像我学会了一种 _免费_ 的操作系统Linux一样。预算不是为了记录你的钱而是为了记录你的习惯。这意味着无论你是靠薪水生活还是正在计划退休你都应该[保持预算][12]。
如果你在美国,你甚至可以[用Linux来交税][13]。
### 艺术
![MyPaint][14]
(Dogchicken, [CC BY-SA 4.0][3])
不管你是画画还是做像素艺术、[编辑视频][15]还是记录你都可以在Linux上创建出色的内容。我所见过的一些最优秀的艺术作品都是使用一些非“行业标准”的工具创作出来的并且你可能会惊讶于你所看到的许多内容都是基于相同的方式而创造出来的。Linux是一个不会被宣扬的引擎但是他是具有强大功能的引擎可以驱动独立艺术家和大型制作人。
尝试使用Linux来[创作一些艺术作品][16]。
### 编程
![NetBeans][17]
(Seth Kenlon, [CC BY-SA 4.0][3])
听着用Linux来编程几乎已成定局。仅次于服务器管理开放源代码和Linux是一个明显的组合。这其中有[许多原因][18]但我这里给出了一个有趣的原因。我在发明新东西时遇到了很多障碍所以我最不希望的就是操作系统或者软件工具开发包SDK成为失败的原因。在Linux上我可以访问所有的东西。以上都是字面意思。
### 封装
![Packaging GNOME software][19]
(Seth Kenlon, [CC BY-SA 4.0][3])
当他们在谈编程的时候没有人谈的事情是封装。作为一个开发者您必须将您的代码提供给您的用户否则您将没有任何用户。Linux使得开发人员可以轻松地[发布应用程序][20],用户也可以轻松地[安装这些应用程序][21]。
另很多人感到惊讶的是[Linux可以像运行本地程序一样运行许多windows应用程序][22]。但是你不应该期望在Linux上能够执行windows应用。尽管如此许多主要的通用应用要么已经在Linux上原生存在要么可以通过名为Wine的兼容性层运行。
### 技术
![Data center][23]
([Taylor Vick][24], [Unsplash License][25])
如果你正在找一份IT的工作Linux是很好的第一步。作为一个偶然使用Linux以更快地渲染视频的前艺术生我是根据自己的经验说这番话的
尖端技术发生在Linux上。Linux驱动着大部分的互联网世界上最快的超级计算机以及云本身。现在Linux驱动着[边缘计算][26],将云数据中心的能力与分散的节点相结合,以实现快速响应。
不过,你不需要从最上面开始。你可以学习在笔记本电脑或者台式机上通过一个[好的终端]远程控制系统[28][自动][27]完成任务。
Linux对您的新想法是开放的并且[可以进行定制][29]。
### 分享文件
![Beach with cloudy sky][30]
(Seth Kenlon, [CC BY-SA 4.0][3])
无论你是一个新手系统管理员还是仅仅是一个将文件分发给朋友的室友Linux都可以使[文件共享变得轻而易举][31]。
### 多媒体
![Waterfall][32]
(Seth Kenlon, [CC BY-SA 4.0][3])
在所有关于编程和服务器的讨论中人民有时把Linux想想成一个充满绿色1和0的黑屏。对于我们这些使用它的人来说毫不奇怪Linux也能[播放你所有的媒体][33]。
### 易于安装
![CentOS installation][34]
(Seth Kenlon, [CC BY-SA 4.0][3])
以前从来没有安装过操作系统吗Linux非常简单。一步一步来Linux安装程序通过操作系统的安装来帮助您让您在不到一个小时的时间内感觉自己像一个计算机专家。
[来安装Linux吧][35]!
### 试一试Linux
![Porteus][36]
(Seth Kenlon, [CC BY-SA 4.0][3])
如果你还没有准备好安装Linux你可以 _试一试_ Linux。不知道如何开始它没有你想象的那么吓人。这里给了一些你[一开始需要考虑的事情][37]。然后选择下载一个发行版并给出了使用Linux的21个理由。
