Minimalism - a swiss knife to cruicial computer operations. How this minimalism came. Free software enthusiast who openly and passionately speak why they like it and how its better that mainstream thing. actually it existed way before youtuber like lukesmith openly talks about it. In the beginning of computer operating system world. It already started. Look at the gnuutils, unix tools the main foundational tools that are built modulary to do different little jobs very efficiently. command like cats, ls and dd. They are the foundational cobblestones of computer programming that we know today. Minimalism is actually better way to handle things. laws of unix - Write programs that do one thing and do it well. - Write programs to work together. - Write programs to handle text streams, because that is a universal interface. - Minimalism = Economic - war against blot benefits - being less resource intensive - prudent use of resources - achieving more things in lesser resources. - not giving unnecessary load to the system - functional, simple, lightweight and faster benefits - you can saves a lot of time - you can achive multitasking and automation - it gives you learning attitude. - lots of learning curve. not so benefits - being minimalist in the world of bloat is hard. - reality is sad more sader than we think. - harsh truth cant be ignored. - so use intelligently bloat software only when and where required. - we can keep minimalist usecase for ourselv - by not mixing personal life with professioal. understand the problem - the problem is being too radical in any appealing ideology we get introduced. - we should be free and open minded to all perspective. - and avoid being rigid or fixed at particular point of view. - it is important to not forcing your idea on others. - respect others perspective. - you cant be always right. conclusion - enjoy minimal software - but share your philosophy with other - remember i said share not shove.
