Granted, I think it is pretty cool the very limited exposure Ive had to it (running parted magic off a live cd if you would even consider that) and if I had more coding knowledge and such, I probably would use it. But switching to it completely would mean that I have the ability to word-process, surf the web, and thats about it for me.

Because you disagree with the idea behind Windows and OS X..

Either I'm inadvertently smarter than I give myself credit for, or the author is a complete lummox. I don't know the first thing about Linux, and I have set up three Linux file/ftp servers and joined them to AD just by using google. The Linux support community is second to none in terms of documenting specific tasks people might want to achieve, and you don't necessarily have to go into a forum to get answers.

For Most people gamers excepted Linux is a viable desktop alternative, the shift has to happen in you head. You define what you need to do vs what you've had in the past.
Linux isn't viable for computers that make money using a specific workflow with specific programs but other than that it's rather nice.

I agree with Chris here.

Linux is a great desktop OS in the right application. If you are going to be annoyed because of the lack of third party software such as Photoshop and the like, then Desktop Linux isn't for you.

I ran Linux as my only OS from 1997 to 2003 and back then it really put hair on your chest if you could even INSTALL it, much less run it as your daily OS.

As far as the driver support, Linux does indeed lag behind a bit. But they also support hardware long after the company has stopped and if you have an old PC lying around gathering dust, odds are it's totally supported right out of the box on Linux. Try that with windows. You won;t even get online to try and download 10 year old drivers because your NIC won't work.

A while back, my retired father wanted to get online. I didn't want to give him a windows system because his needs are very basic, basically he uses Firefox for everything, and I didn't want to have to babysit the OS for AV software and the like.

I installed Ubuntu on that system and set it to auto-update and it ran for years until I replaced it with a Macintosh. ( For the same reasons )

Fact is, Linux is very user friendly, it's just picky about who it's friends are.

The article is just bait to get views, hence i don't think this warrants a thought out reply from anyone.

They’ll tell me all the ways Windows sucks, and all the reasons Apple is evil, and make exalted claims about how wonderful their lives are since they made the switch, and how they’ll never go back.

Let me preemptively say, “That’s great. I’m happy for you.” It doesn’t change the fact that you’re part of a negligible market segment.

He is saying there is no room for debate, simply because Linux has a small market share. Hopefully i don't need to say how wrong that is.

What's the point of a GUI OS if all the stuff you have to do to make it work is still CLI?
Furthermore, I've known people who use an OS purposely designed to be more GUI-friendly (e.g. PC-BSD) and they actively resent using the modular PBI plugin design! They're the frickin' ambassadors for this OS and they still insist on compiling all their stuff from ports or from the repository! Come on, guys.

Its faster, well for most things but hey

I mean heck.. If we're going to say command line is so WIN lets go back to DOS please.

Please give me something that you can do in the gui which you just magicaly knew .. you still have to learn a gui, IE i can manage email from the CLI for qmail, yet i spend ages looking over Exchnage going EI why you no work! WHERE YOUR LOGS
