I tried to persuade him to give Ubuntu a shot by showing a snapshot of my desktop and continuing with all the benefits and disadvantages I had experienced so far. As a result, he agreed to install Ubuntu on his laptop as soon as the new semester begins cause I'll need the CD I burnt for installation.
One thing that amazed me was I talked to some friends about Ubuntu in my department, which belongs to EE&computer science, but very few had heard of it, not to mention using it for daily routine. Strangely, most of them had heard of Linux in class but the idea of using it never occurred to them.
This isn't just an issue of choosing which OS to use, it's a serious condition: If the future engineers of Taiwan have no desire to try new things, to learn as much as possible, how can we expect them to be creative, to be innovative when they finally become the engineers? How can they work cooperatively to change the world?
