Like every month, the day came to meet the new poll. In this case the question is: How many people did you manage to "switch" to Linux?
We also include the previous survey results, entitled «Google+ is ...»And some brief comments on your results. |
Survey of the month
& lt; a href = »http://polldaddy.com/poll/5495460/» & gt; How many people did you manage to "switch" to Linux? & lt; / a & gt;
Results of the previous survey: Google+ is…
- one more step from Skynet / Google to dominate the world: 223 votes (34.95%)
- one more private social network: 132 votes (20.69%)
- better than Facebook (protects my privacy): 117 votes (18.34%)
- My salvation: I can finally get rid of Facebook: 97 votes (15.2%)
- less complicated than Facebook: 69 votes (10.82%)
Conclusions
At first glance it seems that the negative image of Google+ predominates among our readers. However, when adding the last 3 options, the positive image reaches almost 50%, so we could say that the waters are divided into halves: of every 2 readers, 1 believes that Google+ is a good thing and 1 believes that it is not. is.
I already made a small XP graveyard
hahahahahaha but what a good survey, I'm already going through the 7 «converts», a community radio that is running on linux and another radio very soon ... what is the workhorse? linux mint, easy and fast, nice to have been that nobody has uninstalled it.
I think that from so much I talk about free software I have converted people from free software to return to private: S
I dial 5-10, temporarily more, but it is difficult for me to keep track of all
I have 19 windows deleted. 😀 and I already have several who are about to switch to Free Software.
I dialed 1-5. I tell you, compadre ... it's difficult. For the older people (my old ones) the uprooting of güindous ... they have been using it since 3.1. My brother, on the other hand, no drama. And even some college mates (industrial ing) I had them try Linux and they loved it. What strikes me the most is that my quasi-computer-ing colleagues do not give GNU / Linux a buck. The only one they use is OpenSUSE, I think ... just because they need it for networking ... but don't get it from microsoft. It's a shame.
1. A friend who showed him Ubuntu was fascinated. It didn't cost me a bit. You recently permanently deleted Windows.
2. A somewhat older person who never had a computer and knew nothing about computers. I gave him my old PC with Ubuntu 10.10. After 9 months, only one phone call. And they say that Linux is more difficult than Windows ...
3. The one that cost me the most, a friend deeply rooted in the Windows world. Currently it does dual boot but uses Ubuntu as the main OS.
And many, many to whom I showed them, they did not pass, but they knew Linux and most gave good reviews.

The previous survey on G + is flawed by its possible answers, it is rather funny.
It seems to my G + that both twitter and Facebook will pupate as soon as they make it a little more configurable
5 righteous, and because I have been evangelizing for a short time ... Leave me one more year and you will see 😛
The weird thing is that he calls you after 9 months ...
Haha well, the truth is, I don't see any of the ones I know on Linux anyway ... Well yes, one, but getting him out of the rotten apple could be the challenge of my life ... hahaha
I think there were 2 at 3. but the very fool returned to windows because he said ubuntu was difficult for him to use XD
I put 1-5, at this time I was starting to gain followers of the race, but the professor of operating systems mean that I forced everyone to install a linux (at least in virtual machine) so I steal them all 🙁 hahaha
although I help them to find the way around several things, to get a taste for it (teaching them something other than the terminal so they don't get bored and showing them things like the package manager, with that they all fall on their ass: D) , and I'm here to solve a couple of problems, although being almost computer engineers ... flower of boludos who can not search in google and know how to do a basic partitioning, but good xD
To 1 person but it was only because XP could not be re-installed on their PC due to a problem that I still cannot understand but apparently depends on a code related to the Mother Board.
However, I think that trying to convert people is a waste of time and energy ... people have to come alone.
A few days ago I tried to teach someone about photography (since I am an expert in that art) however I realized one thing ... people do not want to learn photography, what they want is to "buy" increasingly "better" cameras .. No he is interested in learning but buying ... with Linux something happens not exactly the same but similar in a certain sense.
I liked your last reflection.
A hug! Paul.
Hello Marcoshipe, this is nice to read, but the problem is that not everyone has contacts with someone like you, who knows something about Linux, I use it but only the basics, I don't know anyone who informs me personally or where can learn in a course for example ubuntu, this is what disappoints the most. I can compare what is learned in a self-taught way, and what is learned in a face-to-face course, and there can be years of difference one way and another.
On the contrary, knowing how to read you learn faster.
You should not know "Linux" like "MS WOS" you should know how to use programs, go to Ubuntu Software Center or Software Manager in LMDE and start "gossiping" as there are many programs - packages in Linux - look for things you would like to do, install yourself the programs go around the menu and hit it.
I like gnome2 but there are about 10 Linux desktops, I suppose that's what you mean by "learn" if it's to use the console, find yourself command chops, there are several, all good on the web.
If what you want is to learn to program, that is to write in a language, the programs that help to do it, when compiling, that is, converting the text into a program, make it better and faster in Linux, even if it is the version for MS WOS.
There are also no Android courses, which is Linux and people learn intuitively, right?
Yes. that must be the case..just it was a Packard Bell branded desktop. Now it was possible to install Win98 but it was very limiting.
Luckily in Linux there are many people willing to collaborate and they are usually very cool (except for the occasional Taliban who thinks that Linux is for hackers and you cannot ask questions that are obvious to them).
some ways to find people to help you:
+ looking for the lug (linux user group) closer to where you live: with this you will be able to have direct contact with people who live with linux, possibly they know a lot and can solve various problems, as well as tell you anecdotes, tell you things that maybe they would not have occurred to you, etc. Here you can find the ones from Argentina: http://drupal.usla.org.ar/slugs
+ for the forum of your distribution: in this place you will not find people to chat with you, but it is usually very useful when you have a specific problem (or not so much), depending on the distro they may get angry more or less, if the solution is your The problem is solved with a google search of about 5 minutes, but putting a little effort in learning and explaining that you are just starting (if so) there will be only joy 😀
+ irc chat: on the freenode server, there are many rooms where you can chat on different topics, ask questions, etc. It is enough to find the room of your distro, or a general one, depending also on how you get along with the languages, generally there are more people in one who speak English, but Spanish are also frequented.
For now I can not think of any other, but surely there are more, I recommend the first if you have a place nearby
regards!
Good recommendation!
A hug! Paul.
Haha!! I'm still fighting her in that sense. 😛
Cheers! Paul.
