包阅导读总结
1. 关键词：Linux、操作系统、计算机、开发者、努力
2. 总结：文本围绕为何更多人不使用 Linux 展开，指出其虽免费但需更多努力，不像商业系统操作简便，还呼吁开发者重新审视 Linux，因其有助于提升计算机技能，值得一试。
3.
– 有人提出为何 Linux 虽好但使用的人不多。
– 世界上有很多有益却被忽视的事，如锻炼、阅读等。
– Linux 并非操作简单，需要用户付出更多努力。
– Linux 对理解计算机更有帮助，像道场一样。
– 多数普通用户只想简单上网或用应用，不想费力钻研。
– 但程序员应不同，像消防员需要健身，程序员应提升计算机技能。
– 呼吁更多开发者重新看待 Linux。
– 有助于提高互联网基础技能。
– 已有相关技能就有应对 Linux 的能力，值得再尝试。

A couple of weeks ago, I
saw a tweet
asking: “If Linux is so good, why aren’t more people using it?” And it’s a fair question! It intuitively rings true until you give it a moment’s consideration. Linux is even free, so what’s stopping mass adoption, if it’s actually better? My response:
If exercising is so healthy, why don’t more people do it?
If reading is so educational, why don’t more people do it?
If junk food is so bad for you, why do so many people eat it?
The world is full of free invitations to self-improvement that are ignored by most people most of the time. Putting it crudely, it’s easier to be fat and ignorant in a world of cheap, empty calories than it is to be fit and informed. It’s hard to resist the temptation of minimal effort.
And Linux isn’t minimal effort. It’s an operating system that demands more of you than does the commercial offerings from Microsoft and Apple. Thus, it serves as a dojo for understanding computers better. With a sensei who keeps demanding you figure problems out on your own in order to learn and level up.
Now I totally understand why most computer users aren’t interested in an intellectual workout when all they want to do is browse the web or use an app. They’re not looking to become a black belt in computing fundamentals.
But programmers are different. Or ought to be different. They’re like firefighters. Fitness isn’t the purpose of firefighting, but a prerequisite. You’re a better firefighter when you have the stamina and strength to carry people out of a burning building on your shoulders than if you do not. So most firefighters work to be fit in order to serve that mission.
That’s why I’d love to see more developers
take another look at Linux
. Such that they may develop better proficiency in the basic katas of the internet. Such that they aren’t scared to connect a computer to the internet without the cover of a cloud.
Besides, if you’re able to figure out how to setup a modern build pipeline for JavaScript or even correctly configure IAM for AWS, you already have all the stamina you need for the Linux journey. Think about giving it another try. Not because it is easy, but because it is worth it.
