Linux and Nigeria

Linux is what i like to use, but Windows is the guy that is paying my bills.

You may wonder what this is all about, but if you live in Nigeria where Windows has 95% share of the meagre PC population you will know that it does not make any economic sense to be giving Linux support to people as a means of living.

Most Linux installations i have seen are back-end solutions on servers and i don't think this will change any moment from now.

Most people here are GUI centric, and changing or adapting to a new way of doing thing is very difficult.

I know a day will come when MS will step up her antipiracy war here, then the saviour will be good ol Penguin.

Windows has 90% use in the whole world and is not specific to Nigeria alone.

The beauty of Windows is that when it came out it was an easy operating system to use, just click and you are there.

It is impossible for any operating system to overtake windows, while Linux has its followers and users, Microsoft has nothing to worry about at the moment, so concentrate on what is going to earn you a living.
