What If All the World Ran Linux?

Postby dedanna1029 » 29 Dec 2010, 17:22

There's a cartoon that made the rounds in the Linux community a few years back that I often think of at this time of year.

In essence, it depicts a Linux aficionado refusing to help convince someone to switch to Linux, explaining, "If everyone's using it, I'm not cool anymore."

It's a joke, of course, made funny by the fact there may just be the tiniest hint of truth underlying it, at least among some people. The reason I think of it at year's end, though, is that mainstream adoption of Linux is generally considered a goal by many in the free software community, and it's an oft-cited hope for every new year.

I'd rather be a free person who fears terrorists, than be a "safe" person who fears the government.
