Yeap, developers prefer Ubuntu. The LTS version (stable with 5 years support). For Ruby, PHP, Python and Java is really a nice choice.

But you know it'll use it as default in future releases. It's not the default now.

Another summary posted by trainee.

Now they hope to get back to XP. And they'll face Win8. Sure, the support center will be "free" now.

I usually heard how nice is to develop using Qt. How it's easy, community friendly, last surprise, etc. But I never saw the big guys interest in the Qt owner.

Just wondering if a better future would be in the landscape if some big company with good open source compromise (in theory) like Intel buy Qt.

But your managers already heard of someone that filled a bug in any MS product and get it fixed? But a real case with link to it, not the urban legend "I have a friend that found a bug on IIS and MS fixed it. Who will fix a bug on Apache?".

And, in the other side, your company can, for sure, make contracts with big Open Source guys, like Red Hat and Canonical.

Kate is closest to Notepad++, really awesome and configurable.

The tech communities are really good. You can stay in touch with some tech leaders, discuss about some nich stuff (like your favorite Linux distro, Astronomy), etc. To me, Facebook = family and friend network. G+ = tech network.

Wii had an easy controller, easy appealing games, like Wii Sports and Wii Fit. With WiiU, they said they gone hardcore. But the hardcores don't want Nintendo products. So, I'm a casual gamer. I loved Wii. My wife loved. My tiny kids loved, because it was easy. Now, with WiiU, they offer a bad tablet experience, that requires recharge all the time. No easy controller, no wide appealing games. Wii Sports, Wii Fit, all the best selling games for all the times. Nintendo is the only company over the world, that produced a big hit in the market (and their best selling product), and denied it totally later.

Moto G on them!

To avoid remember all the password managers, we need a password manager manager.

I'm seen a lot of new and good programs written on Python + Qt, as the way to achieve multplatforming.

Basically, you cited all the problems that MS Windows suffers on the desktop, due being the popular choice.

Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759

You're right!
