[QUOTE="Deleted member 178, post: 775316"] Linux was and will never be friendly to newcomers, despite what their fanboys will say. Tested many distros, wasted many hours googling how to do this or that, finally always went back to Windows... Why? Because with windows all is faster and easier to use. Few things that I always disliked on Linux: - Drivers are limited, even some are "generic" , good luck for using uncommon hardware. - Architecture is made for security, and security don't do well with convenience. - number of distros, each one changing their desktops erratically doesn't help. - Linux being free will never attract the most popular productivity software/games vendors. Sure The Gimp or Libreoffice are good software but they will never compete with Photoshop or MS Office in term of usability and features. Anyway, because I'm a bit bored on Windows lately, my security setups are final, I will probably retry Linux for learning sake. My view: Linux is for geeks MacOS for graphists and designers. Windows for gamers or companies. ChromeOS will be for the average Joes. Choose your poison. [/QUOTE]
