Moving from Mac to Ubuntu: Why I’m switching
,----[ Quote ]
| Why I’m leaving Mac
|
| 1. Crap file management.The Finder doesn’t work for me. No location bar
| and no tree strucure side panel makes it difficult to navigate folders and
| move files around the way I want to.
| 2. Insufficient panels & customization. In Ubuntu I can have as many
| panels I want, can put all kinds of stuff on them, and can arrange them
| however I want. In OSX You just have the dock, and you can really only put
| applications or files on them, and you can’t even put in a separator to
| keep them organized.
| 3. Various other annoyances. Such as:
| * program menus are glued to the top of the screen on one monitor
| only, which detaches them from the window. This is especailly
| annoying when the program you’re using is on the second monitor.
| * the date/time doesn’t open to a navigable calendar. I often use
| this to check dates in the past or future.
| * you can’t see hidden files unless you run a command from the
| terminal to turn them on. Thus, hidden files are either always on
| or always off.

Why Switch to Linux?
,----[ Quote ]
| In an interesting post on Lifehacker, the editors ask the readers "Why did
| you switch to Linux?" The question drew quite a lot of interesting responses,
| including some very offbeat reasons for why people made the switch. If you're
| under the impression that people switch solely for rebellious or "fight the
| man" reasons, here are some of the more interesting responses and trends that
| they point to.
