Elementary OS Freya: Konečně hezký desktopový Linux

Ale já jsem to nikdy nevnímal jako souboj "náboženství". Vnímám to jako souboj pro BFU použitelného vs. použitelného jen pro geeky. Jako BFU bych šel do Applu či Windows. Pěkný víkend 🙂.

Já to řešil nedávno u Xubuntu a taky jsem to vyřešil instalací guest additions. Ale myslím, že jsem je instaloval i z menu Virtual Boxu.

tak už jsem to vyřešil... problém byl, že jsem přeplácnul původní .bashrc svým starým z fedory... a tam nebyly nastavený všechny ty potřebný aliasy... pantheon jem vykopnul, stejně na něj nejsou moc dobrý reference a proti gnome-terminalu nemůže nikdo říc ani půl slova

Vzpomínám si, že v KDE 4 to také nejde a řešilo se to přemapováním kláves. http://linux.o106.com/viewtopic.php...
Tak možná by to šlo také použít na elementaryOS, akorát to spouštění skriptu by se muselo nastavit jinak.

Díky, až dnes přebootuju do Linuxu, tak to zkusím.

Přidám ještě osobní zkušenost s oním vzývaným Arch Linuxem. Jednou jsem chtěl poznat, cože na něm všichni mají, dal jsem se do instalace a čekal, že instalace bude intuitivní jako v případě Fedory, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Mintu atd. Ne, zasekl jsem se u nějakého obskurního příkazového řádku, pokusil se googlit jak dál, jenže neúspěšně. Snažil jsem se sehnat nějaké info na FB stránce Archu, neboť registrovat se na forum kvůli jednomu problému mi přijde hloupost, leč ani po třech dnech žádná odpověď. Takže jsem to vzdal a s velkou úlevou se vrátil k Windows. To přirovnání sedlo jako zadek na hrnec.

Já ho teda upřímně taky moc nesledoval, já se u moto g spokojím s fastbootem, resp. mfastbootem, ale párkrát, když jsem oylem zabrousil někam jinam jsem našel kopec pěkných složitých toolů, které jsou jen pro Windows. Ale jinak by většina telefonů měla vskutku jít flashovat úplně stejně i v Linuxu.

Rozšíření linuxu na desktopech je opravdu jen otázkou času. Jestli se podíl linuxu zvýšil od asi půl procenta za nějakých 10 let, možná se o pár generací později dočkáš. Teda spíš nedočkáš, to už budeš prdět do hlíny...

Já si určitě neprotiřečím. Ta mrtvola se měla začít hýbat a nestalo se. Tyhle záškuby pohybu nejsou nic výraznějšího mimo vývoj posledních 20let.Ale jinak samozřejmě celý výrok je spíše poměrová paušalizace. Linuxový desktop žije. Ten vývoj a posun je znát." protože kdyby se stal mainstreamem, asi by se to projevilo na jeho kvalitě" Nic takového neplatí.

Ovšem překonat tu počáteční bariéru je pro nemalou část lidí problém bez ohledu na systém. Proto taky nikdo nechce změny, když už se konečně po dlouhé době naučil jedno. I samotné Windows s tím bojují pokaždé když někoho z nich napadne změnit vzhled a proto ještě tolik lidí pořád používá Windows XP. Od této nemalé skupiny lidí prostě nemůžete čekat, že by dobrovolně změnili cokoliv. Natož na linux, který není jednotný leckdy ani v rámci jedné distribuce.

Přesně. Nemusím program hledat po pofiderních warez fórez. Stahovat jeho instalační soubory rozdělené na několik rar souborů, zjišťovat, zda nějaký vtipálek k instalačnímu souboru nebo cracku nepřidal nějaký škodlivý sw, zjistit, že je šestý archiv z osmi, poškozený, že tato verze cracku již nefunguje, že tato verze nepracuje s 64bitovými windows nebo naopak, atd... Jo, instalovat sw je na Windows lahůdka.

Na jednoduchosti samotné až tak nezáleží. Jde o to na co jsou lidi zvyklí. No a taky opomíjíte možnost že něco v repozitářích není, takže jej nejdřív musíte přidat a už se to komplikuje...

Teoreticky jde, ale naštěstí ne snadno 🙂

Je to problem linuxu protoze ten je tim ve vysledku bity.
Vyrobci/prodejci (vcetne toho kdyz znamemu postavis pocitac), problemy nechteji. Nechteji reklamace proc nemuzu spustit program co pouzivame v prace/skole, nemuzu spstit hru atd. Tak radi davaji vsude wokna (a MS jim za to jeste vesele plati, i kdyz by podle meho uz davno nemusel - pomer prodanych pocitacu s win/linux by se stejne nezmenil)Linux je v zacarovanem kruhu. Vyrobci SW jej nepodporuji protoze ma malo uzivatelu, Uzivatele jej nechteji protoze neni podporovany SW. A i tem co by stavajici sw na linuxu dostacoval, jsou odrazovani takovymi statistikami, ze je potreba doktorat pro jeho pouzivani.

Sebelepsi OS ktery se brani svemu pouziti beznym uzivatelem, tim ze nejde nainstalovat bez navodu je v jeho ocich spatny. Uzivatel ocekava bezchybny chod OS, ze v nem funguji veci tak jak maji. A OS ktery nejde nainstalovat u nej nevzbudi duveru, ze jinak bude fungovat bezchybne. Proto je linux tam kde je.

To teda neni... celkem toho upgrade lituju a premyslim ze se vratim na Mavericks...

no ok, je to viac ako 1% :)vie niekto co sa stalo jun 2014 vo francuzsku ze linux na desktopoch skocil skoro na 8%, potom rychlo padol a tiez od zaciatku 2015 stupa podstatne rychlejsie ako predtym?

teraz urobime dokaz dlzkou, ze zas klames.Výsledky průzkumu mezi vývojáři: platy, technologie i množství kofeinuZnámý server Stack Overflow zveřejnil výsledky svého výzkumu mezi více než 26 000 programátory z celého světa. Ptal se na výši platu, programovací jazyky, operační systémy, ale třeba i na počty vypitých kofeinových nápojů. Z Česka se zúčastnilo 243 vývojářů, ze Slovenska pak 68. Podívejte se na podrobnosti.

Sdílet na Google+Průzkumu se zúčastnilo 26 086 respondentů ze 157 zemí, vyplňovali odpovědi na celkem 45 otázek. Celkem 6800 se jich považuje za univerzální vývojáře, 1900 se specializuje na mobilní platformy a 1200 vyvíjí front-endy. Podívejte se na kompletní grafy s výsledky:Dalších 25 fotografiíPrůměrný věk vývojáře je 28,9 let a narodil se tedy v dubnu roku 1986. Nejmladší vývojáře obecně najdeme v rozvojových zemích, naopak v těch rozvinutých je průměrný věk vyšší. Indickým vývojářům je průměrně 25, těm v USA naopak přes 31.Podle očekávání je mezi vývojáři výrazně více (92 %) mužů než žen a jen čtvrtina má delší než desetileté zkušenosti s profesionálním vývojem. Největší skupinu tvoří samouci, jen asi třetina studovala patřičný obor na vysoké škole.Mezi nejpopulárnější technologie patří JavaScript, SQL, Java, C#, PHP, Python C++ a C. Nahoru se pak derou AngularJS a Node.js. Ještě o nich jistě uslyšíme. Podle používané technologie se pak odvíjí také výše platu. Nejlépe jsou placeni vývojáři Objective-C, Node.js, C# a C++. Obecně platí, že čím okrajovější a novější jazyk je, tím může vývojář žádat o vyšší plat.Rozdíly jsou pochopitelně také mezi jednotlivými regiony. Zatímco v USA si ročně může vývojář výše jmenovaných jazyků přijít v přepočtu na více než 2,2 milionu korun (190 000 Kč měsíčně), v západní Evropě je to přibližně polovina, ve východní Evropě pak čtvrtina.Palivem vývojáře je kofein, průměrně ho každý z nich vypije 2,2 hrnků. Ať už v podobě kávy, čaje či jiných kofeinových nápojů. V Norsku a Nizozemí to jsou v průměru více než tři hrnky, Švédsko a Finsko se k této hranici přibližují.Vývojáři nejčastěji používají Windows (54,3 %), na druhém místě je pak OS X (21,5 %) a těsně za ním následuje Linux (20,5 %). Přestože se Linux dlouhodobě mezi uživateli na desktopu drží mírně nad jedním procentem, u vývojářů jde o velmi častou volbu. Mezi distribucemi vede s jasným přehledem Ubuntu.Mezi verzovacími systémy vede jednoznačně Git, který používají dvě třetiny vývojářů, následuje SVN s jednou třetinou. Zajímavější ovšem je, že téměř 10 % vývojářů nepoužívá žádný verzovací systém. Pozitivní také je, že pro vývojáře je jejich práce koníčkem. Více než 70 % z nich tráví alespoň dvě hodiny týdně vývojem open-source nebo něčeho pro vlastní potěšení. Každý pátý pak týdně do podobných projektů vloží přes 10 hodin času. Průměr je pak velmi příjemných 7 hodin týdně.Více naleznete i s grafy v samostatné galerii.(Zdroj: Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2015)
OverviewEvery year we run a survey. This year, more developers answered more questions than ever before.26,086 people from 157 countries participated in our 45-question survey. 6,800 identified as full-stack developers, 1,900 as mobile developers, 1,200 as front-end developers, 2 as farmers, and 12,000 as something else.Code is everywhere, and just about every coder uses Stack Overflow. Every day more coders are finding great jobs on Stack Overflow Careers.We conducted this survey to help us better understand our community and to help our community better understand itself. For 2 weeks in early February we ran ads for the survey on Stack Overflow, posted it on Meta Stack Overflow, and shared it across social media.These results are not unbiased. Like the results of any survey, they are skewed by selection bias, language bias, and probably a few other biases. So take this for what it is: the most comprehensive developer survey ever conducted. Or at least the only one that asks devs about tabs vs. spaces.
Developer ProfileWho codes? Where do developers live? Are developers programmers and are programmers developers? Let's talk demographics.
I. Geography Respondents
Active Users
World Population+-There are now more than 7.2 billion people on planet Earth. About 32 million of them visit Stack Overflow monthly, and more than 25 million are return visitors. Return visitors land on Stack Overflow an average of 6 times every month. These are our Active Users in the map above.This survey under represents developers who don't like to take English surveys. It's biased against devs in countries like China, Brazil, and Japan, who participate on Stack Overflow less than devs in other non-English speaking countries. It's for these devs that we've started to launch localized versions of Stack Overflow. Wherever you live, whatever language you speak, we want to help you build as efficiently and collaboratively as humanly possible.
II. Devs Per Capita Top 6
Bottom 6 Country Devs per 1,000 people
Luxembourg 39.8
Iceland 35.0
Sweden 35.0
Israel 33.4
Finland 33.0
Singapore 31.7
With devs defined as return users. Among countries with at least 10,000 monthly Stack Overflow sessions.Accounting for 25% of all sessions, the United States is the top traffic source to Stack Overflow. India is second (12.5%), followed by the UK (5.5%), and Germany (4.2%). But Luxembourg delivers more uniques per capita than any other country.
III. Age

IV. Age by Country
Country Developer Age (avg.)
United States 31.6
United Kingdom 30.3
Canada 30.3
France 28.6
Germany 29.0
Poland 26.7
Russia 26.6
India 25.0
Among countries with at least 10 mil populationProgrammers are especially young in developing countries like India, where the average developer is just 25 years old.
V. Gender
Male 92.1%Female 5.8%Prefer not to disclose 1.7%Other 0.5%25,744 responsesSoftware development has a gender balance problem. Our internal stats suggest the imbalance isn't quite as severe as the survey results would make it seem, but there's no doubt everyone who codes needs to be more proactive welcoming women into the field.
VI. Experience
11+ years 24.2%6-10 years 23.2%2-5 years 32.4%1-2 years 13.6%Less than 1 year 6.6%24,827 responsesThe programming field is growing extremely rapidly. In the United States, nearly 40% of doctors have 10+ years of professional experience. By contrast, only about 25% of developers worldwide have more than 10 years coding experience. Most of those veteran developers have probably been coding professionally much shorter than that.
VII. Women Who Code Women
Men11+ years 9.5%6-10 years 15.1%2-5 years 30.1%Less than 2 years 37.1%Compared with men, women who code are nearly twice as likely to have less than 2 years programming experience. We hope this means more women are joining the industry and closing the gender gap.
Female Respondents by Geography
India 15.1%US 4.8%Sweden 2.3%Developers in India are 3-times more likely to be female than developers in the United States.
VIII. Education
I'm self-taught 41.8%Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (or related field) 37.7%On-the-job training 36.7%Masters degree in Computer Science (or related field) 18.4%Online class 17.8%Some university coursework in computer science (or related field) but no degree 16.7%Industry certification program 6.1%Other 4.3%Intensive code "boot-camp" or night school 3.5%PhD in Computer Science (or related field) 2.2%Mentorship program 1.0%21,314 responsesThere are many ways to learn how to code. 48% of respondents never received a degree in computer science. 33% of respondents never took a computer science university course. System administrators are most likely to be self-taught (52%). Enterprise level services developers are most likely to have an industry certification (13%). Machine learning developers and data scientists are 10 times more likely than any other developer type to have a PhD (15%).
IX. Side Projects and Open Source

The average developer spends more than 7 hours per week coding on the side.
TechnologyThe more things change, the more likely it is those things are written in JavaScript with NotePad++ on a Windows machine (theme: dark) using Git, and tabs instead of spaces.
I. Most Popular Technologies 2015
2014
2013Javascript 54.4%SQL 48.0%Java 37.4%C# 31.6%PHP 29.7%Python 23.8%C++ 20.6%C 16.4%Node.js 13.3%AngularJS 13.3%Ruby 8.0%Objective-C 7.8%21,982 responsesJavaScript remains the most-used programming language. Node.js and AngularJS are busting out. Java is still the #1 server side language (and the most frequently used tag on Stack Overflow). The C's continue to hold on strong.
II. Most Loved, Dreaded, and Wanted Most Loved

By comparing status quo vs. aspiration we can see how developers perceive available programming tools.
III. Desktop Operating System 2015
2014

Windows maintains the lion's share of the developer operating system market, while Mac appears to have overtaken the Linuxes among active Stack Overflow devs.Linux may be a small player on the consumer market, with just 1.5% of global desktop operating system share, but it's a go-to OS for developers.

V. IDE Theme
Dark 52.5%Light 39.9%I don't use an IDE 7.7%Developers prefer working with a dark IDE theme. We did a little further mining and discovered desktop developers prefer a light theme, front-end developers prefer dark, and mobile developers are split down the middle.
VI. Source Control

VII. Tabs vs. Spaces
Tabs 45.0%Spaces 33.6%It depends 17.0%Huh? 4.5%25,807 responsesAfter millennia of heated debate, mercifully, at long last, we have an answer. Most developers prefer tabs to spaces.Upon closer examination of the data, a trend emerges: Developers increasingly prefer spaces as they gain experience. Stack Overflow reputation correlates with a preference for spaces, too: users who have 10,000 rep or more prefer spaces to tabs at a ratio of 3 to 1.
VIII. Caffeine

WorkThe labor landscape is constantly evolving for those who know how to code. New developer types are emerging. More developers are going remote (and getting better, higher-paying jobs because of it). More than most professions, developers enjoy what they do, and it shows: nearly every developer spends time coding on the side.
I. Occupation 2015

For the third year in a row, "full-stack developer" was the most common response.
II. Mobile Developers
Mobile Developer - Android 44.6%Mobile Developer - iOS 33.4%Mobile developer 19.8%Mobile developer - Windows Phone 2.3%1,900 responsesOf more than 22,000 respondents, 1,900 said they are primarily a mobile developer. Android developers outnumber iOS developers 4 to 3. Just over 2% of mobile developers identify as Windows Phone developers. 20% of mobile developers don't identify with a particular mobile platform.
III. Mathematics Developers
Developer with a statistics or mathematics background 45.6%Data scientist 40.2%Machine learning developer 14.2%1,018 responsesWe've been able to identify a number of emerging developer types by observing patterns in Stack Overflow users' browsing behavior. Developers with a stats and math background and machine learning developers are a couple of these new dev types. Data scientist is a related developer type that is slightly more established.
IV. Other Dev Types Multiple Choice

More than 300 respondents identified as DevOps, nearly 200 identified as business intelligence or data warehousing experts, and 59 identified as "growth hacker" – the smallest segment of developers among the multiple choice options."Other" developer types make the field even more interesting: nearly 1,600 respondents submitted a write-in response for occupation. Game developers and designers made up the largest segment among write-in dev types. More than 100 write-in respondents included multiple dev types in their occupation choice. Only one respondent wrote in that he/she works with lasers.

We cross tabulated compensation with competency in specific technologies to see which tech pays best.Niche or emerging technologies pay big bucks. So does big data and cloud computing. This may reflect a shortage of certain skills in the workforce – companies are willing to pay more when hiring for cutting edge skillsets. It's also likely that developers with niche competencies are just better developers all around.

Among countries with at least 100 survey respondents. Based on The Economist's Jan 2015 Big Mac Index.When it comes to quality of life, dollars, Euros and Yen don't matter. Big Macs matter. The Economist's Big Mac Index is a measure of purchasing power parity that can be used to compare the true value of compensation between workers in different economies.Where can an average developer eat the most (and live the best)? The survey says: Ukraine, where Big Macs cost only about $1.20.

Developers who work remotely full-time earn about 40% more than those who never work remote. The disparity is more pronounced in developing countries.
IX. Compensation by Stack Overflow Rep

Now we have proof.In truth, we don't know that there's any causal link between reputation and compensation, but indulge us for a moment. If rep equals money, you could get a 10% raise just by going from 1 to 100 rep on Stack Overflow. If rep equals money, you would only reach average developer status once you earned between 200-499 rep. And you'd earn 135% average salary once you hit 10,000 rep. It may be a good time to hunt a bounty...

The average fully employed developer spends more than 6 hours every week working on open source, side- or hobby projects. Retired developers spend nearly 3 times as many hours on hobby projects. Code is life for most devs, and for many coding is a lifetime pursuit.

Developers are generally more fulfilled by work than most employees.And developers in Iran are more satisfied with their jobs than developers anywhere else. Stack Overflow Careers may not have any jobs available in Iran, but you can still move there and apply for one of our many available remote jobs.

Full-time Remote 10.4%Part-time Remote 18.6%I rarely work remote 48.1%Never 22.8%16,154 responses29% of developers work at least part-time remote. This is up from 21% last year. More developers are choosing to work from home and more companies are embracing the remote workplace. (We're one of those companies.)XIV. Working Remotely - Who Wants It?
It's non-negotiable 4.1%Very important 16.7%Somewhat important 29.1%Neutral - I don't mind working in the office or remotely 39.3%Not important 10.8%18,890 responsesCode is breaking down cubicle walls. 50% of developers say working remote is at least somewhat important. Note to companies trying to hire: if your job listing doesn't include remote, you could be cutting your possible applicant pool in half. And you may be eliminating the most qualified developers from consideration. Stack Overflow users with 5,000+ rep are twice more likely than other developers to say "remote optional" is non-negotiable.
CommunityWithout people, Stack Overflow is just a pile of pixels. It's thanks to the devs who answer, upvote, edit, and ask that everyone benefits from the library of Q&A we've amassed since the first question was asked in 2008. Reputation and gamification is just a tiny part of what makes Stack Overflow work. Community is everything.
