Make my kids use Linux before windows, show them the power of the terminal from an early age.
Educate them on the "alternatives"

They get baby duck syndrome when they use Windows.
To them, the de facto standard would be Unix. They won't have anything to go back to.
Windows users will have a harder time swaying them then making atheists religious.
Are there any flaws in my plan?
Seriously, I want to know so that I can amend it
Perhaps s/Linux/openBSD ?
>>47163925
>NOT EVEN ONCE
No, that's not how that meme works.
literally every school will force them to use windows, they're gonna be like wtf is this
Bad ideas:
Getting kids
>>47163925
This is borderline unethical.
Right up there with brainwashing your kids with religion at a young age.
>>47163963
>>47163989
It might be better to just let them be familiar with both platforms. Maybe even apple platforms too.
>>47163963
Tell the school that you don't appreciate them forcing an OS designed to keep the masses tech illiterate upon your kids, and demand them migrate to openSUSE lest you sue the pants off the state.

Using windows will make you brain-dead. I'm glad I found Unix as early as I did.
OSX is better than Linux or Windows, why don't you buy them a Mac?

Is it worse than the indoctrination of Windows? Or for that matter atheism?
I will teach my kids only facts. I was raised agnostic and I chose Catholicism.
I was raised Windows and chose Linux.

I think you misunderstood me.
Teaching them varied operating systems is the correct choice.
when i have a kid, when they're old enough and start asking questions about operating systems, I'll tell them about iOS and Unix.
I don't know jack shit about iOS or Unix, but I'd learn for my kid if they expressed interest. We'd learn together.
I certainly wont be telling them Unix is shit, even though thats how I feel.
>>47164137
>OSX is better than Linux or Windows
>>47164172
Unix is not shit. Go kill yourself if you believe that because you have no right to have kids.
Anyways, most people don't give a shit about Unix vs Windows, but I think it's because no one they know does.
teach them every OS and to hate every OS equally
this is the only real way to make them into what they'll eventually become

Jesus christ, SORRY Linx/GNU/Blah blah is shit.
Unix is fine, I recognize there are a LOT of software applications in the world that operate off of Unix, so that's fucking awesome. But in my home, for daily use? Not for me.
>>47164216
>oh that shit program, yea I got it
uses openoffice / libreoffice to save to shit format
not hard.
>>47164200
Teach your kid ITS, Genera, and VMS.
You will not be able to get your kid to hate those if he is halfway intelligent.
>>47164221
You make my neckbeard feel sad ;_;

So you own a Mac? You know OSX has been certified by The Open Group, the holders of the UNIX trademark, as UNIX, right?
>>47164281
OS X may be certified, but it is far from Unix.
Launchd, plists, Quartz, all un-Unix. It is architecturally Mach with BSD wrapped around. It may be certified, but Solaris or Unixware are more Unix, and are certified.
>>47164281
No I do not own a mac. God damn.
Unix is great. I use windows.
Are you fucking autists finished?

Exporting to pdf and google drive is the only way one can navigate the educational institution using linux as a daily driver.
Yeah, google drive, deal with it nigger.
It's actually pretty handy because I can edit documents without people knowing I'm a gnufag and if they get corrupted I can blame it on drive and it's a legitimate excuse for normal fags (whereas "oh libreoffice fucked it up, sorry man" would not be).
>>47164295
Dennis Ritchie said nothing that would suggest Launchd, plists, or Quartz are un-Unix. Are you going tell The Open Group that they are wrong?

I've used libre & open office for ~10 years never had problem from middle - high school - college
never had any formatting problems either.

I don't know, open/libreoffice has gotten me through school.

You can use glass panes used to provide an outside view in ones house without letting in rain and other debris as a computer operating system? How do you manage that?
>>47164322
Yes, I fucking am. Stop with your appeal to authority. DMR didn't say anything, but why would he spend his time worrying about his OS X. He had more important things to do.
>>47164376
Brian Kernighan uses Macs and thinks they're pretty UNIXy. Are you going to keep going?
>>47164389
They are pretty UNIXy, but my argument still stands. Launchd, Mach, and whatnot are not Unix or anything of the sort.

Fuck you. It is unixy in use, but not inside.

You're one of those pedants who think UNIX means anything other than the trademark used to describe the OS developed by Bell Labs in the late 70s and sold by AT&T with their workstations in the 80s, then sold to The Open Group god knows when to give them the right to dub whatever they choose as UNIX.
>>47164389
only apple would think of something as fucked up as an xml-based init system
>>47164447
Unix is also a philosophy. Operating systems that follow it and are similar to the Old Unixes are more Unix, in my eyes.
Autistic faggot.
>>47164460
Yes. WHAT THE FUCK.
Someone needs to smack the retard who came up with that idea. WHAT THE FUUUUCK.
WHY WOULD YOU USE XML FOR ANYTHING WHYYYY
>>47164216
Were you not listening ?

Hence pedant. There's UNIX and there's UNIXy and if anyone says otherwise they need to find more meaningful things to argue about.

I can understand business would want to use something that is compatible with "the industry standard" and thus use office. I would not spend a minute trying to get my spreadsheet converted to gnumeric or libreoffice because of ethical ideals. But in a school it makes very little sense economically, ethically and technically to use windows with office. I know that they get discounts but they are still paying money for something that they don't have to and doesn't improve the education.
Given that office is not compatible with free alternatives children are more likely to pirate the software than installing a free alternative. I don't think this is ethical.
All I got was a few weeks in the computer lab where we learned to make a budget in excel and then we had to make some assignments in word. All that could have easily been taught in another application without even changing the courseware and I think this is even easier today.
