I have several friends who need help with their computers. They have been converted to Ubuntu because it takes a lot less of my time and effort to support them on Linux than to keep fixing their Windows problems. </div><div><br></div><div>Dave</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div style="font-size:75%;color:#575757">Sent from my Verizon Wireless 4G LTE Smartphone</div></div><br><br><br>-------- Original message --------<br>From: Ralf Mardorf <ralf.mardorf@alice-dsl.net> <br>Date: 07/23/2013 09:00 (GMT-06:00) <br>To: ubuntu-studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com <br>Subject: Re: OT: Help with WIFI on HP Mini 110-1030CA <br> <br><br>On Tue, 2013-07-23 at 19:14 +0530, Abhayadev S wrote:<br>>>To use Linux needs lot of knowhow and you need to refresh this<br>>>knowhow each day.<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> Yes thats correct...<br><br>Thank you for confirming this.<br><br>Don't get me wrong. It's not negative. The self-responsibility and FLOSS<br>approach has advantages! I like to encourage people to use Linux, but<br>only people who are aware about their needs and who are willing to take<br>care about at least their own needs. People who want nannies for to<br>maintain their computer should use another OS. Many Linux users who call<br>them self noobs are experts, compared to the masses using proprietary<br>operating systems.<br><br>Nearly everybody can use Linux, nobody has to be an Einstein, but there<br>is one requirement to use Linux, inform yourself about what's going on<br>in Linuxland and learn, learn and learn.<br><br><br><br><br><br>-- <br>Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list<br>Ubuntu-Studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com<br>Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users<br></body>
