Question: Is it necessary for a physicist to master Linux OS?
Hello everyboby! I have a question about computer operating system,that is: Is it necessary for a scientist to master Linux OS?

I mean physicist and astronomer, I've heard that physicists and astronomers usually use Linux/UNIX, not Microsoft Windows. Is it true? Lots of people say that Linux/UNIX is very difficult to use, I've tried Ubuntu Linux and found it's really hard to use.
Thank you!

It would take much more time, study, difficulty and definitely expensive schooling to become a Physicist than a become a Master of Linux. I became pretty proficient in using Linux after about 2 years of just being one of my hobbies. It didn't seem very difficult, just required some dedication to learn new ways to use computers. Linux knowledge is not required for my job, but it certainly has added to my abilities as a computer service and repair technician. It certainly would be useful to know Linux and a programming language like Python if you are going to do any physics or astronomy computer simulations. I have read many comments from Physicists on Slashdot.com, I don't know if it required, but it certainly sounds like a useful skill for them.

问题：对于一个物理家来说，掌握linux系统很有必要吗？
大家好，我有一个有关计算机操作系统方面的问题，那就是：对于一个物理家来说，掌握linux系统很有必要吗？
我指的是物理学家和天文学家，我听说他们通常都是用Linux/UNIX,而不是Microsoft公司的Windows系统，是真的吗？很多人都说Linux/UNIX难用,我也是曾试过Ubuntu Linux，发现它确实有点难以上手。
谢谢！

成为一个物理学家比成为一个linux的主人更困难，因为它需要更多的时间，学习和昂贵的学校教育。
仅仅两年的兴趣，我现在已经能够熟练使用linux了，它看起来并不困难，只是需要一些专用的知识来学习新的计算机使用方式。我的工作并不需要Linux知识，但对一名计算机服务和维修人员来说，它的确提高了我的能力。如果你想做一些有关物理或天文方面的计算机模拟实验，那你就有必要了解linux及一种程序设计语言--比如Python.我从Slashdot.com上的科学家那得到很多评论看法，我不知道掌握Linux是否必要，但是对他们来说，这听起来确实是一项有用的技能。
