Winning Windows Users Over
Posted: Sun Jul 26, 2009 12:31 pm
I have a laptop computer at the dance studio that gets passed around a lot. To make it super-simple and familiar looking to most of the dancers, I use LXDE with a pretty wallpaper and "clickable icons" so that users completely unfamiliar with Linux can use it effortlessly. They don't even know it's Linux unless I tell them (usually when they comment on how easy and speedy it is). I have won over more than one dancer to Linux just by letting them experience how "user-friendly," fast, and simply non-geeky Linux can be. LXDE rocks! And it has been the main reason that my friends and family have changed their minds about Linux.
I just want to say thank you to the wonderful people behind the scenes who have done so much to make such a huge difference.
A major fanboi,
Robin
