6 Linux Myths, Busted
ZDNet, Wednesday, December 18th, 2024
Linux is more popular than ever, but certain myths still surround the open-source OS. Let's clear some things up.
I've been covering Linux and open-source since 1999 (the year of Prince). During that long stretch, a year hasn't gone by that I haven't experienced someone (or a group of someones) still believing the myths that seem to be forever churning about the open-source operating system.
It would be impossible to calculate the hours I've spent trying to help people understand that the vast majority of those myths simply are not true. Hopefully every time I do, someone's eyes are opened, and they see what they've been misunderstanding.
