I've been using computers and various operating systems since the early 90s. Trying to use linux today and most things still seem to require three tutorials to do basic things like install files.
It's just not easy to use. I could never recommend it to somebody who is new or even newer to computers.
It is though? Is the bar so low that simply having to read, comprehend and follow instructions is disqualifying?
Maybe you need to abandon desktop computing and go purchase an iPad
Another reason not to like linux, the douchebag holier than though user base.
But didn't you learn to use your your favourite OS at one point in your life?? How is that any different? Did you never learn a single thing from someone else?
You have to learn to ride a bike and drive a car. Are those crap vehicles too? It's not "holier than thou," when your argument is full of holes (hehe).
