Still mortified by those gnaw marks on the keyboard from a rage-making experiment with Linux last decade? Consider giving the OS another try; Linux has matured. I switched last summer, endured far less grief than expected, now rarely boot into Windows.<\/p>\n

\"Virtualized<\/a>
Windows 7 running in Linux Mint through VirtualBox<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Warning: this post is geeky. If you don’t know or care what a \u201cLinux\u201d or \u201cOS\u201d is, I’ve already kept you too long<\/a>.<\/p>\n

WHY I SWITCHED<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

My saga began in mid-2015, when little blue pop-ups began to appear near my Windows 7 start menu. The pop-ups announced that I qualified for a free \u201cupgrade\u201d to Windows 10. Lucky me!<\/p>\n

I didn’t want Win 10, irritably clicked the pop-ups closed.<\/p>\n

Some time later, I noticed that a huge, hidden sub-directory had metastasized on my hard disk. $Windows.~BT<\/em>, it called itself. Online research indicated that this gargantuan six gigabyte directory housed the never-requested Windows 10. Microsoft had downloaded it to my computer without permission<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A much younger Tim might have interpreted this stealth download more charitably. So they want to get all the computers on the same page; is that so terrible? Gee whiz, they’re giving it away free!<\/em><\/p>\n

An older-and-homelier Tim did not interpret the stealth download charitably at all. I did some research, discovered that Win 10 includes mandatory updates<\/a>, data sharing described as a privacy nightmare<\/a>, and a new forty-five page service agreement that bequeaths unto Microsoft rights to, according to the EDRi<\/a>: \u201ccollect everything you do, say and write with and on your devices in order to sell more targeted advertising or to sell your data to third parties.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Unh unh; deal me out. I might be wed-by-shotgun to Big Data when using the ‘net, but don’t want to start seeing ads for budget burials and casket clearance sales if I vent about a sick relative to a word processor diary file. I steeled myself for a sure-to-be-miserable transition to Linux.<\/p>\n

LINUX? GNU\/LINUX?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Linux now drives fewer than two percent<\/a> of desktop computers worldwide. Its official mascot is Tux<\/a>, an obese, sedentary penguin of doubtful sobriety. Promotional material often suggests an OS that is similarly dreamy and half-baked, like a Rube Goldberg unicycle pitched unseriously for a weekday commute.<\/p>\n

This PR misleads, spectacularly. GNU\/Linux — the oft-omitted GNU for the work of Richard Stallman<\/a>, and Linux for Linus Torvalds<\/a> — is the free, open source spawn of legendary UNIX<\/a>, the Big Daddy OS that powered Bell Labs mainframes when Bill Gates was still playing tic-tac-toe on a terminal. 90+% of supercomputers<\/a> run Linux. Google, Twitter, Facebook, Amazon, IBM and other<\/a> big companies run Linux. Linux or UNIX lurks under the hood of your MAC\u00a0OS<\/a> desktop and both Android<\/a> and iOS<\/a> smartphones. GNU\/Linux-son-of-Unix was born<\/em> to multitask, to juggle multiple users, to assign file permissions and user hierarchies.<\/p>\n

But, early \u201cdistros\u201d of Linux for personal PCs were geeky, fit only for computing cognoscenti. I gave one a whirl over a decade ago, couldn’t make it print, chalked up personal Linux as a hobby project.<\/p>\n

HOW’D IT GO THIS TIME?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Much better.<\/p>\n

I downloaded the friendly-to-newbies Linux Mint<\/a> distro, experimented with a rarely-used laptop, then swallowed hard and let Linux create a \u201cdual boot\u201d configuration on my workaday computer. (A calculated risk; had the install borked, I would have faced a messy clean-up.)<\/p>\n

On start-up, I now see a menu similar to the one below, allowing me to boot into either Linux or my old Windows 7 set-up.<\/p>\n

\"GRUB<\/a>
GRUB dual boot menu<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Linux went smoothly online, recognized my twin LCD displays and several external drives, pushed pages out of a laser printer, and scanned pixels on a flatbed photo scanner. I couldn’t get it to talk to a sheetfed document scanner.<\/p>\n

How about software? I liked Linux’s free browsers, e-mail clients and LibreOffice word processor as well as anything I used in Windows, and configured a Windows accounting program and address database to run under Linux via the Wine<\/a> and CrossOver<\/a> apps. Wine is free; Crossover cost sixty bucks.<\/p>\n

That left my photo enthusiast software. I coughed up $130 for a new Windows 7 license<\/a>, and used Oracle’s free VirtualBox<\/a> to configure a separate, virtualized, OS-within-an-OS under Linux. VirtualBox did not<\/em> configure itself effortlessly, required some unpleasant under-the-hood settings changes, but now handles all the Windows chores I regularly need to get done. I can still boot into my original Windows 7 set-up, as I did before downloading Mint, but often don’t do so for weeks at a time.<\/p>\n

A VERDICT?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m glad I changed, but wish I hadn’t had to.<\/p>\n

Linux may be faster<\/a>, safer<\/a> and arguably more elegant than Win 7, but I don’t like launching a virtualized PC to run photo apps, and judge Linux printer and scanner utilities as cruder than Windows equivalents. I live with rough edges I didn’t deal with last year.<\/p>\n

But I also no longer compute in fear of my own OS. I’ve switched to a platform I can use and augment for years to come. Linux won’t try to hang an advertising ID<\/a> on my personal PC (I don’t think), or railroad me into an \u201cupdate\u201d with onerous privacy terms and compulsory updates.<\/p>\n

Many folk sit at a computer only to use big dollar Win only or Win\/Mac apps like Avid, InDesign, AutoCad, Photoshop, Illustrator or Quickbooks. These users may be joined at the hip to Redmond or Cupertino, and I wonder if Microsoft counted on their unhappy allegiance when specifying the \u201cfeatures\u201d of Win 10.<\/p>\n

Other users shrug off privacy concerns, foolishly or not. Still others will feel as I do about privacy, but balk at attempting big system changes. What if the dual boot configuration hangs, for some reason; what if you can’t get into your computer anymore? I have nuked hardware in past experiments, struggled to make things right afterward.<\/p>\n

I can share only my own experiences. I suffered far less in the transition than expected, and encourage frustrated Linux experimenters of years past to at least give the penguin another look. (An easy method: download the free VirtualBox for your current Windows computer, then install an also-free Linux distro and dink around in it. Don’t like it? Uninstall VirtualBox.)<\/p>\n

AN AMUSING DISCLOSURE<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I own shares of MSFT<\/a>. Microsoft stock.<\/p>\n

I don’t recommend stock picking, choose my own only because I don’t want to be a fractional owner of Altria, Lorillard and other unsavory-industry companies through an index ETF<\/a>. (Consider this list<\/a> of excluded companies from the bank managing Norway’s sovereign wealth fund.) Surely I could own Microsoft! Didn’t I admire Bill Gates for his philanthropy? Hadn’t I relied on Microsoft software since MS-DOS days?<\/p>\n

Companies change. I don’t think this OS bullying is kosher, wish it were illegal, now contemplate selling MSFT and swallowing a capital gains tax to stay within my own ethical parameters.<\/p>\n

But a part of me thinks I have a right to stand pat.<\/p>\n

I have fled in horror from the flagship product of a company I own shares in. I believe (but can’t prove) that Microsoft is hard selling their new OS mostly because they can get away with it<\/a>, that they crave software-as-service wampum to plump income statements and EPS figures, and thus boost the price of my MSFT shares. MSFT is up almost 19% for 2015. New revenue streams may send it higher in 2016. Earnings conference calls must be festive.<\/p>\n

I’ve paid for this change. I don’t feel safe booting into my legal, licensed Windows 7 installation anymore. I’ve turned off automatic updates, safely or not; I research every update that Microsoft suggests to insure it won’t try to sneak<\/a> Windows 10 onto my system. I’m an OS refugee.<\/p>\n

Maybe I’m entitled to make some money off the deal.<\/p>\n
