Technology Tribulations - Linux Bound
I don't know what is more annoying the fact that people are driven mad because of going around in circles with the current technology situation? Or the fact that this is standard fair when it comes to how technology is derived in a distorted way.
I am not mincing words here, yet I am kind of tired of the endless circle that either elates, or deflates depending on you ask with regards to operating system choice, and flavor of desktop function.
As in my post about my foray into Linux, moving towards Apple/Mac brand, and working with Windows, I am now faced with a choice: pay to play, or be without. You can pretty much figure out where this is going.
I don't like having to make these kinds of decisions, but the force of market has made me really look at the whole process and I'm extremely worried that choice (a concept once held in high regard with technology buffs) is now a duopoly which is entirely stripped, scripted, and monetized to the ecosystem.
It is in fact just like the cable company (two more or less is one), and satellite. Digital Subscriber Line isn't even a factor here because of how crappy the service is. I like the fiber concept and yes the infrastructure is there but the companies do not want the consumer to use it. I like to believe people still have a choice, yet I am rethinking this.
So I've been playing around with Linux again. Like an old friend, many things have come back. There is still so much I do not know, but I am eager to delve further, because what else is there? The koolaid everyone else is drinking? No thank you. Thanks for reading.
