  • Around 2000 years ago the Romans held slaves and were crucifying people by the thousands. Amphitheaters hosted gladiator games and executions while huge crowds watched. A quick count on Wikipedia lists more than 40 wars just involving Rome from 200 BC to 200 AD and there were dozens of wars involving China during the same period. There were undoubtedly hundreds if not thousands of additional undocumented battles around the world.

    There’s plenty of evidence that 2000 years ago you could not “take it for granted that people loved being alive and loved themselves”, including the fact that a “source” would feel it necessary to issue an order requiring people to love their neighbors.









  • No matter what distro you choose, expect a learning curve. Depending on your usage it can be minor or significant. You may find a simple task doesn’t work as you expect in Linux and it’s time consuming to figure it out. If you run Windows in a virtual machine on Linux or set up a dual boot system you can switch back and get the task done easily, and figure out how things work at your leisure.

    When I first switched I went back to Windows a couple of times a week for simple tasks that I didn’t know how to complete in Linux. (It usually was an issue with figuring out a new application and rarely had anything to do with the OS itself.) After a couple of months I found I was wasn’t using Windows much, and in less than a year I was able to delete the Windows partition.
