Same. I don't know of any software that the average household depends on for which Linux doesn't have a program. Game aside, of course.

Linux can do very easily:

1. Office
2. Music
3. Videos
4. E-mail
5. Chat/Instant Messaging
6. Web Browsing
7. Picture Editing (ok, not as good as photoshop, but I still said "average household;" average household doesn't have PS)
8. Programming (again, probably not average)

Those are the most basic tasks I can think of at the moment. Linux can do all of them.

Add me to the group. Have an old P4 rig with no OS for it, tried Ubuntu,Mandriva, and finally Linux Mint. I love linux mint so easy too use, and the best part is the ability to install and run games on it

Yeah, there are lots of games, just not the commercial ones you see in stores.

My favorite games are Linux-compatible. Better yet, they're Linux native. Possibly even better yet, they're free

I have nothing against linux and I'm even considering installing it on my dads old POS dell so he can have a decently fast PC. Its so old even Windows XP crawls. I think AOL is the culprit though. After all it's the only virus you have to pay for. I just don't have a use for Linux myself. I run Vista Ultimate 32bit SP1 and absolutely LOVE IT. I have had no issues except one BSOD that I got while oc'ing.

If it supported games I would use it, but it doesn't so there for it doesn't get used.
