Tech/Engineering - IT (Information Technology) / Linux
English term or phrase: coast
Of course, another part of that is that you also get out what you put in. Sure, you can try to "coast" on the project and be just a user, and that's ok. But if you do that, you also have no control over the project. That can be perfectly fine too, if you really just need a basic operating system, and Linux already does everything you want. But if you have special requirements, the only way to really affect the project is to participate.

Coast 本来指不费功夫利用地心吸力向下滑。
Coast: to slide down an incline through the effect of gravity.
