How to love your computer

The title isn’t what is sounds like, this is a non-dirty website I’m running here. What I’m referring to is a new, excellent post by Sam over at the Fedora Core Blog.

Sam discusses the way that any computer user who cares about making his/her system work well given their particular needs is bound to modify things, destabilize things, maybe even compromise general system integrity from time to time. Despite that, it’s worth it.

A lot of things are broken on my system. But I wouldn’t have it any other way. I use Linux because I love technology and want to play with all the latest stuff. Linux for me isn’t about having a low-cost stable system; it is about having a technology testbed. I want to be the one filing the bugs and crashing my system.

I couldn’t have said it better Sam.

    Yep. I’ve broken X and just about everything that I’ve installed within the first few weeks of installation. Never knew that there was so much freedom and scope the actually explore and examine what’s going on. Everything in my boxes is configurable. Systems can be as hard or as simple as you want them to be. Linux under the hood can take time, but boy it’s worth it.
