Lack of software and games?
there is over 14,000 games available for Linux, and over 60,000 applications for software.
But wait.... you do not see them on the shelves at your favorite store. Probably because the software is also FREE.
I have not seen any free software available on any store shelves.
When was the last time you seen Firefox, OpenOffice, Azureus, 7-zip, and Inkscape on a store shelf? Never.... It is open source software, available to download for free.
I know I did not mention any games, you want a list of software, I can flood the website with links for you to visit if you like.
I am guessing since your reply to my last post is quoted above, you NEVER used Linux. If you have, your statement would have never been made.
Linux is all around you whether you know it or not. It is in the banks keeping your money safe, it is in the ATM that you withdraw your money, the New York stock Exchange, Disney, Pixar, any movie after 2002 that has computer graphics, hospitals use it to keep their patients alive with heart machine& lung machine running linux, NASA uses it to launch the shuttle into space, and they use it onboard the shuttle and space station. The military uses it to guide missles and ballistics to their target. linux is used when lives depend on it. Imagine seeing a bluescreen on the controls of the Airplane when trying to land... not going to happen. But you will see them on the monitors to see when the next flight is ready.
I could go on and on about where it is used. but you already knew that right?
Yes, Microsoft monopolized the desktop, and that is why it is in front of you now. More than 70% of the Internet is hosted on a Linux Apache server, and if you Google anything, you will be using over 400,000 Linux servers to make your search.
Yes, even
THIS SITE is hosted on Linux.
Use
http://news.netcraft.com/ to see what sites you currently visit are running.
Check out
SourceForge Software Map and see a few software titles that are available for ALL operating systems. That is another reason why it is called OPEN SOURCE. it does not close itself to one operating system, and it is free to modify if you wish and redistribute.
OK, I am tired of ranting.... Use
http://www.google.com to educate yourself a bit about anything concerning the operating system you are using and ones that you are not.
