Unix.., really?

Why would I install such a thing? Open source? So what. I have Windows and Mac. Fedora won’t install (GPT ERROR? I DON’T USE GPT PARTITION) and I refuse to install Ubuntu. What’s next? Unix? I guess. Windows and Mac are enough for me, but I feel as if I need Unix for Python and Perl. I know Windows has Python and Perl, but I rather not use them on Windows.

Microsoft dominates the PC market because of Windows’ relative ease of use, and popularity among consumers. How many consumers out there want to compile a program or even deal with a command line interface? Probably 20%, more or less. On Linux, I find myself typing commands more than Mac and Windows combined, regardless of what distro. Ubuntu is significantly less, but still. On Windows, the command line interface is practically non existent to me, I do not need to touch it to get anything working.

Linux is better off not being the most popular OS, since it is more suited for programmers than for casual users. Ubuntu took a step in making a Linux for the average person, but hasn’t gotten to the point where the CLI is nonexistent to the user. I think the better programmers will always be attracted to an operating system with less users and more flexibility. Even though there are people biased against Microsoft, but I think we can all agree that the CLI is practically non existent, which is one of the reasons why Windows is popular today. Unix is practically CLI to me even if it has a GUI.
