[QUOTE="Victor M, post: 1087200, member: 96560"] There are a few points that I missed. a. Learning Ubuntu does require a little bit of learning, adjusting. Practical Repsonse pointed this out.Linux runs the entire internet, it's versatile, customizable , one can find many career opportunities upon learning . It is not just saving money, you actually MAKE MONEY from this learning. b. The dissatisfaction points raised in [URL='https://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/linux-year-of-dissatisfaction.html']The Year of the Linux dissatisfaction[/URL] is due to his wrong business target scope. He is a developer. And he therefore finds inconsistencies among distros not fulfilling his business dreams of write once, profit everywhere. If he were to focus on only one or a few distros, his dissatisfaction and counter arguments would be gone. He should focus on one or a few disros and do them well. That is a basic concept in business. He also assumes certain things are common requirements to all home users, like CIFS and media playback.
