On topic. Linux while useful will never be a mainstream os for the general public for much the same reasoning that I pointed out above. It is free for a reason. If it started being an os you paid for that had all the driver support and such that windows enjoys it would be more of a mainstream os. I think that is its main limiting factor at this point. Being able to do everything through the gui would be another one. A lot of the gui programs out there are finnicky at best or outright don't work and will wreck your system at worst. Been there done that. I learned you use the command line for anything important.
I use linux on my home server and while it is cumbersome I like it better than whs for one big reason and that is the fact it isn't ridiculously overbloated. I can install Linux on a very small partition while for Windows you need at least a 160 gigs before windows will even let you install it. Plus it takes much more computing power than it needs to. It isn't quite as full featured as whs. No there is no slick gui like whs has nor the dashboard for my clients. But it was free I can't complain too much. Again you get what you pay for. But I do have a web interface so that works just as well I think. The biggest difference in getting this stripped down os to work was a lot of headaches and sleepless nights learning which for me was semi ok as it was something new and a challenge. But for others it would just not work. They would put in some big drives and hit install and be going in a couple hours with whs. Not caring that it took more power to run it or whatever. They just care that it works and it worked easily.
There is a learning curve like anything else and while linux will never be my fulltime desktop os it does have its place in my home.

Do you know how much the BEST science degree in France costs ?
-1300 Euros per month. And now the - in front is not a mistake.
So bad example
