Someone dares to say that Linux isn't perfect and the zealots come out and scream bloody murder.


If there's one reason (apart from the installation nightmare and the impossibility to get even basic things to work in my experience) to not use the OS it must be the attitude of its users.

    I do not understand the installation nightmare part.
    I can install any linux based OS in a fraction of the time it takes to install a Windows OS,and there are no "Windows needs to restart your computer now."
    I installed a Win.ME today.
    21 critical updates!
    I run linux on a brand new computer and it has no problem configuring to the computer. It came with XP,but I never installed it.

    It's exactly your kind of attitude that you are accusing others of? I don't get it. I see no screaming 'bloody murder'. I see people correcting misinformation.

    You should try to install 2 year old hardware on Win2K if you want to see "the impossibility to get even basic things to work".

    A few minutes working on Linux hardly gives someone the authority/knowledge to do a review. Ever install Windows? I bet you couldn't do it before you ever worked in Windows and who are you going to ask for help?

    Everything I could do in Windows (with the exception of specific games), I can do in Linux with much more security. Never ran an antivirus on Linux or a spyware removal/detection tool. Haven't seen a popup in years. I guess those are some added bonuses with Windows, though.

    Ok, I'm through 'screaming bloody murder'.

      You just proved his point exactly. Twice...
