"If Linux were a great and demanding God of OS's, what might it demand from us?" is a topic I saw recently. I immediately had to have fun with this.
1) Thou shall worship no distro before me.
Behold that the distro is the messenger and it is the message they carry that is to be focused on, not the messengers themselves. I am the one and only OpenSource OS and the distros but carry my message in all variety of possible uses to the world.
2) Thou shall "tweak" thy install.
Lo my devs are good and righteous, but not even their splendid ( or otherwise) displays shall be so eminent that thou ( the end user) may not alter your install to your wishes, this is my promise to you.
3) Thou shall not demand instant gratification for free.
I give thee a gift called "search" use it wisely and harass not others to do for you that which you can do for yourself.
4) Beware of capitalists bearing promises.
My gifts are for all the world to use and no one, regardless of the riches they bring and the splendors they promise, shall intervene. Step not lightly into their house, for it is a gilded cage.
5) Take thyself not too seriously.
These digital wonders are not the periphery of life. Strange and incredible things lay beyond your front door. Lo I shall call it "outside". Go and explore this "outside" and let not your faces pale or your wrists ache there.
OK, I could only think of five instead of ten. I still think it's a tremendously funny thing to take some digitized code so seriously as to place it in the same arena as a deity.
