Linux Desktops and Productivity

This is to disagree with some of the comments circulating in the Web by paid pro Microsoft (rather micro shaft) guys and girls.

The simple letter signify my intent not to dignify the business trend and money.

It comes from two philosophies.

1. Small is beautiful!

2. Software ought to be FREE with ability to tamper with the CODE.BASE, so that there is no final product but an evolving ecosystem.

Linux does both with front end desktop's commanding status and back-end rigid style of organization.

I mean command output from a black terminal.

I never configured a server in Linux and let the router with Linux Samaba like utility to do me honours with 13 computers at home at different levels (all dismantled now).

I always hated black terminal but my output sky rocketed when X-system was adopted for user friendliness in desktops.

My current love is Plasma Desktop coming from Mandriva and SuSe KDE desktops background.

I did not like the rigid commercial Redhat default desktop.

Now coming to Desktops if you install Debian 10 in your computer you have all the desktops in one go in one installation.

When you boot up with a user logging you can pick and choose your own favorite desktop.

Coming from Puppy base, I use dogs names or monkey names as user logging.

Bono or monkey is my favourite user name with Gnome Desktop.

Other users will have a different desktops.

Our dog Zimba has his own desktop and all it's photos and few videos in that home folder.

I did not have a good video camera 10 years ago and Zimba passed in away 2016.

Then two years of relative hibernation and now coming back in style with Puppy in USB stick and AbiWord (removing all Macros from LibreOffice) doing the page formatting effortlessly for publishing.

So do not listen to these command guys and others struggling with micro-shaft word processing.

There are over 60,000 utilities in Linux and pick only the 10 you use frequently.

This piece unfortunately coming from an Android Nokia.

The Lineage OS is not popular yet and standalone cellphone production is stifled by Chinese mass production and trying to entice with their own OP system is ridiculous attempt.

I DO NOT use cheap Chinese products including margarine with short chain fatty acids that destroy your liver (not alcohol by the way).

They break down in less than a year of warranty and my intention is to boycott Chines products at all cost.
