Bobby certainly is a fanboi.

I’ve been using and programming computers since IBM360 and then DEC10, CP/M, MSDOS (3.0 was the best), Windows 3, 93, 95, 97, 98, 2000, NT, XT, 7, 8, 10 and now 11. I started experimenting with Linux when Red Hat was free.

For hard core engineering, video and scientific users, many of the features described will be useful. For the rest of us, email, word processing, spreadsheets, browsers and games are our daily computer encounters. We seldom run more than two or three at a time.

Every current shell is overkill for the vast majority of users. An iPad with a keyboard is just fine. Other than saying it just has everything where we expect it to be, nothing here gets me excited. So I ask... Will it run Gnome Mahjong??

LOL!

I run Terminator as my shell. It's pretty awesome. I can log into every node of a Hadoop cluster with one mouse click, and then run the same command on all nodes at the same time.

Saves HOURS of work when it's needed.
