Blog of Helios gives reasons why we should use Linux

The blog post “Why Linux…?” gives us a background on Linux and what we could gain from using Linux.

Regarding the background to Linux, the blog entry mentions the security benefits of using it as well as an idea that it is an operating system which has improved so that users young and old alike might all be able to use it. It also gave a link t an article about security.

As for the benefits, it emphasizes the freedom that comes with using Linux. Also points out that Microsoft has stopped giving disks for its pre-installed software. The blog entry also mentioned that if you don’t want DRM, then you look for other options. Go open source, is basically what it says.

Overall, I think that the blog entry is trying to communicate to the users that software freedom is for us, not against us. And the blog entry writer also wants us to be encouraged even if we are new to Linux and do not understand everything about software freedom yet. But it also points out that there are practical reasons for us to choose Linux in our daily lives, cost being one of them.

I guess that this blog entry has a lot to say about why users should choose Linux. But it’s hard to figure out what is the compelling reason for users to choose it. Or maybe not. If we are focused on the need of people to use a software then that’s it, I guess. Otherwise, I think it’s not an easy task to convince others and I think that the writer of this blog entry has tried well.
