The Many, the Humble, the Ubuntu Users
|
||||
============================================================
|
||||
|
||||
#### The proverbial “better mousetrap” isn’t one that takes a certified biologist to use. Like Ubuntu, it just needs to do its job extremely well and with little fuss.
|
||||
|
||||
### Roblimo’s Hideaway
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
I have never been much of a leading-edge computing person. In fact, I first got mildly famous online writing a weekly column titled “This Old PC” for Time/Life about making do with used gear — often by installing Linux on it — and after that an essentially identical column for Andover.net titled “Cheap Computing,” which was also about saving money in a world where most online computing columns seemed to be about getting you to spend until you had no money left to spend on food.
|
||||
|
||||
Most of the early Linux adopters I knew were infatuated with their computers and the software that made them useful. They loved poring over source code and making minor changes. They were, for the most part, computer science students or worked as IT people. Their computers and computer networks fascinated them, as they should have.
|
||||
|
||||
I was (and still am) a writer, not a computer science guy. For me, computers have always been tools. I want them to sit quietly until I tell them to do something, then follow my orders with the minimum possible fuss and bother. I like a GUI, since I don’t administer my PC or network often enough to memorize long command strings. Sure, I can look them up and type them in, but I’d really rather be at the beach.
|
||||
|
||||
There was a time when, in Linux circles, mere _users_ were rare. “What do you mean, you just want to use your computer to type articles and maybe add a little HTML to them?” the developer and admin types seemed to ask, as if all fields of endeavor other than coding were inferior to what they did.
|
||||
|
||||
But despite the sneers, I kept hammering a theme in speech after speech and conversation after conversation that went sort of like this: “Instead of scratching only your own itches, why not scratch your girlfriend’s itch? How about your coworkers? And people who work at your favorite restaurant? And what about your doctor? Don’t you want him to spend his time doctoring, not worrying about apt get this and grep that?”
|
||||
|
||||
So yes, since I wanted easy-to-use Linux, I was an [early Mandrake user][1]. And today, I am a happy Ubuntu user.
|
||||
|
||||
Why Ubuntu? Hey! Why not?! It’s the Toyota Camry (or maybe Honda Civic) of Linux distros. Plain-jane. So popular that support is easy to find on IRC, Linux Questions, and Ubuntu’s own extensive forums, and many other places.
|
||||
|
||||
Sure, it’s cooler to use Debian or Fedora, and Mint looks jazzier out of the box, but I’m _still_ mostly interested in writing stories and adding a little HTML to them, along with reading this and that in my browser, editing work in Google Docs for a corporate client or two, keeping up with my email, doing this or that with a picture now and then…. all basic computer user stuff.
|
||||
|
||||
And with all this going on, the appearance of my desktop is meaningless. I can’t see it! It’s covered with application windows! And I’m talking two monitors, not just one. I have, let’s see…. 17 Chrome tabs open in two windows. And GIMP running. And [Bluefish][2], which I’m using right now, to type this essay.
|
||||
|
||||
So for me Ubuntu is the path of least resistance. Mint may be a little cuter, but when you come right down to it, and strip away the trim, isn’t it really Ubuntu? So if I use the same few programs over and over, which I do, and can’t see the desktop anyway, who cares if it’s brown?
|
||||
|
||||
Some studies say Mint is more popular. Others say Debian. But they all show Ubuntu in the top few, year after year.
|
||||
|
||||
So call me mass-average. Call me boring. Call me one of the many, the humble, the Ubuntu users — at least for now…

# 多数的，低下的Ubuntu用户
|
||||
|
||||
#### “更好的捕鼠器“不是一个合格生物学家的专用谚语。就像Ubuntu，尽管带有一点小问题，但它仅仅需要非常优秀的做好它的工作。
|
||||
|
||||
### Roblimo的藏身处
|
||||
|
||||
我已经很久不是一个擅长于计算机的人了。事实上，我在网上第一次获得小有名气是在写一个星期专栏的时候，这个专栏的名字是“这台老电脑”。它描述的是一台古老的设备能够做什么——通常在上面安装Linux——在那之后，我又在Andover.net上开设了一个相同的专栏，名字叫做“平价计算”，是关于如何在这个世界省钱的——在这个大部分在线计算机专栏都让你花钱花到你没钱吃饭的世界里（译者注：作者的意思是“我算是一股清流了”）。
|
||||
|
||||
据我所知的那些大部分的Linux的早期使用者，都痴迷于他们的电脑，还有那些让他们电脑有用的软件。他们乐于仔细研读源代码并且做出一点小小的修改。最关键的是，他们是计算科学的学生，或者从事IT行业的人们。他们的计算机和计算机网络迷住了他们，就像是他们本来应该成为的样子。
|
||||
|
||||
我是（现在也是）一个写作者，不是一个从事计算机科学的家伙。对于我而言，计算机一直以来都是一个工具。我希望他们能够老老实实的，直到我让它们去做点什么，然后按照我的意思去做，最好只有一点点小问题，不至于让我烦躁。我喜欢图形化界面，因为我没有足够的时间去记忆很长的命令行来管理我的电脑和网络。当然，我是有能力使用命令行的，但是我更愿意站在海滩上，不沉浸在命令行的海洋里。
|
||||
|
||||
有一段时间啊，在Linux这个圈子里，仁慈的用户太少了。“你什么意思？你仅仅是想要你的电脑去书写文章，或者可能增加一点点HTML到里面吗？“开发者和管理员这样询问道，好像所有除了编写代码的其他领域的奉献者们都不如他们所贡献的。
|
||||
|
||||
但是尽管面临这些讥笑和嘲讽，我在一次又一次的宣讲和谈话中提出一个像这样的主题：”与其仅仅解决你自己的痛点，为什么不把你朋友的痛点也一起解决了呢？比如与你携同工作的朋友？以及在那些在你最喜欢的饭店工作的朋友们，还有你的医生？难道你不希望你的医生专注于医治病人，而不是在`apt get`以及`grep`心烦意乱？“
|
||||
|
||||
所以，是的，因为我希望能够更简单的使用Linux，我是一个[早期的Mandrake用户][1]，并且在今天，我是一个快乐的Ubuntu使用者。
|
||||
|
||||
为什么是Ubuntu？你一定是在逗我，为什么不是？它是Linux发行版中的丰田凯美瑞（或者本田思域）！平凡的而卓越。它流行到你可以在网络实时聊天，Linux问题，Ubuntu自己的论坛上以及许许多多的地方都发现它的身影。
|
||||
|
||||
当然，使用Debian或者Fedora是很酷的，还有Mint也是一个与众不同的小帅哥。但是我依然感兴趣于写一些故事以及添加一些HTML到故事里，加之在浏览器中阅读，在Google Docs与合作客户修改工作，随时接受我的邮件，用一张过去或者现在的图片做这做那…这些全部都是电脑用户的那点事儿。
|
||||
|
||||
当这一切运行的时候，我的桌面什么样子就没有意义了。我不能看见它！它覆盖了整个应用窗口！然后我使用了两个显示器，不仅仅是一个。我有...让我们看看，17个打开的标签页在两个窗口中。并且GIMP在运行，[Bluefish][2]，这个我刚才在使用的东西，来书写这篇文章。
|
||||
|
||||
所以对我而言，Ubuntu是我最小的抵抗之路。Mint可能有一点可爱，但是当你使用它的时候去掉它的修饰（就是底部的边栏，译者注），它不就是Ubuntu吗？所以如果我是用一个个相同的程序，我的确，并且不能看见桌面环境，所以谁还在意他长什么样子？
|
||||
|
||||
有些研究表明Mint正在变得更加流行，而有些人说Debian更甚。但是他们的研究中，Ubuntu都是居于最上位的，尽管这一年又一年过去了。
|
||||
|
||||
所以称我为大多数人吧！认为我无聊吧！称我为多数的，低下的Ubuntu用户吧——至少从现在开始...
