its quite obvious you dont like linux but less obvious why. to me it seems you dont agree with learning how to use it, were you born with the ability to use windows? to ride a bike? to set a vcr up etc? Just because there are no fancy buttons to click and it uses text files for configuration doesnt make it infinitely hard to learn. config options have names for a reason, to tell you what they are for and all config files have either comments giving detailed paragraphs of each option or a help page that does the same thing, something windows doesn't in lots of areas |
course any old Joe can install windows its all wizard run as any old Joe should be able to install Linux however its what happens next thats the problem.
I spent a lot of time learning what I know and im no No0b however if linux worked out the box with easy to install drivers and run everything I need for day to day computing without having to compile everything then I woudl consider learning other aspects of the system.
Why should I have to read paragraphs of text to install a driver? or a piece of software? no thank you. If linux is ever going to become mainstream it will need to more user friendly if it does not then it wont
one thing I have noticed is when I express my views on Linux I get talked down to by the Linux fanboys something to be honest im not prepared to tolerate
