Hi and welcome back to TriedIT. This post is a brief summary of how and why I have looked to Linux as my computer operating system of choice. I don’t claim to know Linux inside and out. But I have played with the system for over 10 years now and more convinced that ever that it has been time well spent.

From NordicHardware (and linked elsewhere) comes this little tidbit about Mozilla developers possibly extending their work to create a Mozilla Desktop Environment, akin to KDE and GNOME, based on XUL.
I am personally all for new technologies and software. I know many people are against fragmentation in Linux and developers creating many different solutions for the same exact problem. I personally feel the more choices available, the better things are for everyone. Everyone doesn’t have to use the same stuff. People can use what they like best, and since everyone has different tastes, Linux allows them to pick the desktop or distribution they like the best. Microsoft, on the other hand, doesn’t give users a lot of choice. Some people credit this as to why Windows has become so successful, but we all know that isn’t the case.
