Question 7

Control over the entire base system.

Answer 7

If you want something done right, nobody is to stop you from doing it yourself.

Question 8

Development

Answer 8

In part of customizing Linux, you can choose any compiler you want to use assuming there is a source for it. Learn to ignore defaults and figure out decisions you make based on what YOu think, Not what your OS tells you to think.

Question 9

Community

Answer 9

The communities around most applications, programs, and tools are welcoming of anybody who would like to participate and contribute code. If you are truly committed to a project feature and want to make it happen, jump in, work on it, and submit a somewhat complete form of it to the maintainers who make things happen. They might like it or they may hate it, but if that’s the case just fork and rebase using the most recent code on the original project every once in a while.

Question 10

Consistency

Answer 10

The BASH shell is perfect for this reason. Using BASH on Linux is already great, to begin with, but what if you wanted to use a command line on a different, non-Linux system? OS X uses BASH as well for its terminal, so you could easily steal your friend’s MacBook and use their environment for all your wrongdoings.

Question 11

Shortcuts

Answer 11

The easily overlooked part of bASH is scripting ( at least by those who are just starting out ). Some will compare these to BATCH files. Truth be told, but a lot of things you do in the CLI can become tedious, such as running programs repeatedly in the command line. So typing “bash ./nameofthescripthere” is easier than multiple commands in a repeated order. Other systems have similar functionality, but either much less useful or much more primitive.

Question 12

Developing GUIs

Answer 12

If you don’t like the way any of the existing GUIs work, just create your own GUI. Easy.

Question 13

Bleeding Edge

Answer 13

Everything is being updated into Linux as the system is being created. If you want it to be updated as the system is being typed out then you can get Unstable Roling Linux.

Question 14

Programmer-friendly

Answer 14

It’s a Programmer Friendly

Question 15

Packages

Answer 15

Do you want to install a program without compiling? Done.

Question 16

Speed

Answer 16

What can I say, its fast as

Question 17

Kali Linux

Answer 17

Your basically a hacker if you have Kali Linux. Just show that to the enemy team and tell them you will hack their system before thier dad can delete you from the game.
