I am impressed by
those who are willing to sacrifice their time, energy, dedication,
money and other things to create something beneficial for human
being. There are many people on earth doing that, among them are the
people who created, developed and maintained Linux operating system
and its software.
I am typing this
writing using the 10-year old Sony VAIO that my wife bought in 2008.
Back then, it was preinstalled with Windows Vista but it ran
sluggishly so she decided to upgrade the laptop with Windows 7. She
got the original copy of that Microsoft software from her campus
using MSDN mechanism. When we first got married, I used that laptop
as mine was broken and finally sold. However, the Windows 7 was once
crashed so I installed it with Ubuntu. Currently, this laptop is
running Xubuntu 18.10 version and is installed awesome software
such as LibreOffice, WPS office, Mozilla Firefox, and many more. I am
glad with it, indeed.
Currently. this
laptop is basically used for watching purpose for my first son. But
sometimes, it is used by wife for translating purpose. Going back to
the early statement above, I am just grateful of being able to use
Linux in my life. I started using Linux in 2007 and I am still using
it until now.
Creating a stable
and free operating system is not an easy work. The community creating
Linux and its software is awesome. In Islam, that is counted as a
sadaqah jariah or the good deeds with the rewards that will last forever.
Thus, I am jealous to those people as they had created something
beneficial for human being. Well done and many thanks, Linux developers!!!
