When Windows Firewall comes up with a pop-up, you've got enough information to understand what it wants from you right then and there, and you know that it's not an error, the system is working as intended, and it gives you confidence that you're probably not gonna destroy everything by saying Allow.

In Linux it's exactly the opposite. It gives you the feeling that your system is broken in some way. The instructions are as vague and incomplete as an BSOD message, and it forces you into actions to "fix" it that feel like it's not what the system intended for you to do. So a new user will absolutely be scared they they'll make things worse by trying to "fix" it. So instead, guess what they'll do? They'll go back to Windows, leaving idiots like yourself wondering why no one wants to use Linux.

Linux is a great OS. But don't try to give me crap like it's user friendly. It is not.

@alyx @roboneko @vera @neko @sjw @verita84 @MischievousTomato @straw @LoliHat @Suzu @Tamamo It certainly is user friendly. Just not to stupid users who shouldn't be allowed to touch a computer without adult supervision.

It has evolved a lot in the last 10 years I've experienced it, but it is still far from being ready to steal Windows users.

@alyx @vera @neko @roboneko @sjw @verita84 @MischievousTomato @straw @LoliHat @Suzu @Tamamo I don't want Windows "users" around anyway. They'll just make sure everything gets dumbed down even more (already happened in Gnome), rather than keeping the power that experienced users choose GNU+Linux for in the first place. Let the retards play with their fisherprice OS, and let the professionals use GNU+Linux as they please.
