@nyanide I keep saying it, the Linux community is bad. And he's right, most of the good software you associate with Linux is available on Windows too. So there's little incentive in switching to Linux in the first place.
Until user friendliness becomes a priority, Linux is not a good choice for a desktop OS for the average user.
It's a good choice for some programmers, people who like to tinker, and maybe some other niche users. But not for... pretty much everyone else on Earth.

Win7 was such a game changer. Used it as beta, on a shitty computer that had no place running anything above XP. It was the most stable experience I had on that thing. The fucking BETA was more stable than the OS the computer was designed for.
