The Reality of Using Linux Every Day
"It's full of bugs. Nothing ever works. I can't get it to do what I want. It's too hard."
The above probably sounds like I'm talking about Windows, but I'm not. Those are a few of the many complaints I've heard about Linux any time it's brought up.
A couple years ago, I would have been nodding my head right along with whomever was talking. But now, as time has moved on and Linux as a whole continues to grow dynamically, I wonder why I keep hearing these same complaints, and I no longer agree with them.
It's funny, really. You can't turn anywhere without hearing about Linux anymore. Either someone is running it on their little netbook, or Bob from cubicle 13 is using it for his media server, or Windows is going after it like a rabid, petrified animal.
Is it really so horrible for the everyday person?
