I wasn't satisfied, but didn't know any alternatives.<BR/><BR/>Until I heard about UNIX and Linux during one of my IT lessons.<BR/>I installed openSUSE 10.2 on my parent's computer (I'm was only 17 back then) as a dualboot. <BR/><BR/>Then I bought a laptop, kicked XP of of it, installed openSUSE 10.2 and I must say, I completely used to it now and I love it. <BR/><BR/>Almost every day I hear my parents complaining about a slow computer (which is strange because they have 1gb memory and I only have 512mb), and viruses. And of course, they let me fix it.<BR/>And you have no idea how happy I am when I start my Linux laptop after hours of Windows problems..<BR/><BR/>Don't get me wrong, Windows is a fairly good OS too, but Linux is just better, there's no doubt about that. <BR/>And don't tell me anything about hardware or installing programs, because when you've finished installing openSUSE, everything just works.. no drivers for your sound card or anything else.<BR/>And with the 1-click-install that comes with openSUSE 10.3 (which by the by is the best OS ever made) even my parents can install programs in one click, easier than on Windows. <BR/><BR/>And why bother if Linux will replace Windows? Just let people use Windows if they like that..<BR/><BR/>Let us just use Linux :) Let it be that happy community it is now. Don't make it a giant company like Windows!

And besides there are some viruses (vulnerabilities that are long ago closed) that existed in linux. And about the market share... there are plenty of people wanting to do a worm for linux cause taking control over 10 servers is much more useful than taking control over 10 desktop users machines... so there is interest in hacking/cracking linux but it is really made UNFRIENDLY for most of the "EVIL" developers.<br /><br />Cheers!Yavor Ivanovhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13872813935116477039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2234699053314393169.post-58360968298893510452007-01-20T07:01:00.000+02:002007-01-20T07:01:00.000+02:00The driver support issue alone is enough to kill desktop Linux.<br /><br />As for viruses and trojans, if Linux has 80% of the market share, you'll see most of the viruses targeting it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2234699053314393169.post-54881571598820622672007-01-20T02:42:00.000+02:002007-01-20T02:42:00.000+02:00You are something of right but ;)<br />really tell me!<br /><br />still fighting viruses and trojans ?<br />or keeping reinstalling your windows OS in a year again an again ?<br /><br />Well advanced users of Windows OS sure aren't so easy on troling away their system into the junk and reinstall it but really a lot of NORMAL DESKTOP users still fight a lot of problems with worms,viruses, trojans and performance issues after even 2 months of using their OS... that is not what it happens with LINUX on the desktop... so it is as usual very arguable ;)<br /><br />thanks for the comment!Yavor Ivanovhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13872813935116477039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2234699053314393169.post-79148912725737192982007-01-20T02:24:00.000+02:002007-01-20T02:24:00.000+02:00At $150-$250, Vista is more than worth the cost of upgrading. Anyone who makes around $50/hour would agree. Windows works really, really well. Period. Linux (on the desktop) still creates FAR more problems than it solves. Linux is great for servers, but as a desktop OS, we can keep dreaming. I think Linux is realistically 5-10 years away from being a serious alternative, and even that's not a guarantee. As long as Windows works, why would anyone switch? For me, I'd rather pay the $200 and spend my free time fighting far more important battles.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2234699053314393169.post-59118830291163719492007-01-15T05:34:00.000+02:002007-01-15T05:34:00.000+02:00As much as I hate to, I'd have to agree that Linux will not be displacing Vista anytime soon.<br /><br />Linux may very well be a superior OS (it definitely beats the crap out of XP, and Vista is nothing more than a really badly-done Linux wannabe), but technical superiority has never been a guarantee of success.<br /><br />What needs to happen is that we need to be more patient. It'll happen eventually. The Linux OS may be ready for prime time, but the Linux community is not. There's still too much of a fanboy aura surrounding Linux for it to make much headway. <br /><br />Sadly, we're stuck waiting on the rest of the world to grow up and realize that Windows is NOT the way to go, even if we already know that. Like I said, it'll happen; it'll just take us much longer that it did for everyone else like Europe or China.<br /><br />But I daresay that Vista will hasten that. I myself am trying to find Linux-compatible HDTV tuner cards because as soon as I do, XP will be gone. I'm already looking at removing it from my laptop.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2234699053314393169.post-9161998531530064992007-01-15T02:56:00.000+02:002007-01-15T02:56:00.000+02:00it won't happen for at least one reason : the games...<br /><br />as long as the high-end games are made to run under windows only, linux will remain an os for advanced usersAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2234699053314393169.post-54001622212328658712007-01-14T23:26:00.000+02:002007-01-14T23:26:00.000+02:00This will only happen if OEM will start pushing Linux into new PCs. That is the ONLY way. Linux is already superior to Windows. It only needs OEM backing.<br /><br />So if you really want to push for the Linux desktop cause, don't buy Dell, HP or others, but distributors that really support Linux.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2234699053314393169.post-12981776218580265272007-01-14T23:17:00.000+02:002007-01-14T23:17:00.000+02:00Linux will dominate and eventually put Microsoft out of business.
