The multitude of "spins" on an arch, debian or Redhat base system have taken away a lot of attention to what realy matters: Good applications. There is a movement that says "Stop making distro's and start making apps" and I totally agree with them. ããI'm a cross platform geek that jumps from Windows to the Mac and Linux and looks for ways to let technology work for me. Been doing a podcast about that for a couple of years now. So i can say that each has its own charm and power. There is still a way to go for the hardware support in Linux and we need more apps, Windows needs a smidge more customisation (although it is making strides) and Apple should either stop making OSX (and desktops/laptops) alltogether and focus on the Mobile market OR give the desktop the attention it deserves. In the last couple of years I've seen a couple of major shifts.ããLinux : Too much attention to various distro's (including a lot of infighting about what graphical user interface is the best. Good applications (like for example Thunderbird and Firefox) are underdeveloped. ããWindows : Windows is taking big strides to be 'everywhere' Windows 10 is not perfect but Redmond makes big inroads for Linux developers with WSL and deployng Windows apps on Linux. ããMac : Ios is becoming an platform all on its own and Cupertino definately has plans to have the iPad become a full fledged computer for many of us. When they crack decent screen mirroring there will be very little left to do befor an iPad becomes a full laptop replacement.ãã---ã þ Synchronet þ War Ensemble BBS - The sport is war, total war - warensemble.comã

I do tend to run a lot of command line stuff on Linux, and whip up theãoccasional script. :)ãã Kn> I'm a cross platform geek that jumps from Windows to the Mac and Linuxã Kn> and looks for ways to let technology work for me.

No Mac here,ãunfortunately, but a healthy mix of Linux and Windows runs here. :)ãã Kn> about that for a couple of years now. So i can say that each has itsã Kn> own charm and power.
