From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Many of us are notorious fence-sitters. This video attempts to explore some of the psychology of our profound hesitation when switching operating systems. I will share my personal experience, talk about some of the fears we face when making big changes, offer some warm encouragement, and do it all without a whiff of the elitist technobabble that tends to rear its ugly head in Linux discussions.

Wow, I installed it today and it's perfect for me! I tried Deadbeef and wanted to like it, but it couldn't replace Foobar. Fooyin can, thanks for the recommendation.

Awesome, I'm glad to help spread the good word! Fooyin is still in its infancy it seems, but I'm hoping we'll get some more features in it soon- I'm hoping for spectrogram/waveform visualization as well as EQ.
