- | " | + | * Learning how a computer works is easier when using simple software, because it functions are simpler and therefore easier to understand. |
+ | |||
+ | * Understanding the system better gives you more control over your computing. Instead of relying on what programmers has set as default you can individualize your system more than with complex software. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * " | ||

+ | * Using simple software needs not as much resources as complex software. Therefore you can use a computer for a longer time period. Using a simple operating system with simple programs is no problem on a 10 year old (or even older) computer. This means, simple software is a direct contribution | ||
