I’ve been hearing much improved for the past 20 years and it always falls way short. It is improving though but not really ready for common user desktop use.

I use it for more advanced things like accessing hard drives for recovery of data and WiFi snooping analysis.

Android is basically a version of Linux w/Java.

The tablets are selling really well and most people find them very easy to use.

A friend borrowed a laptop with Linux Mint on it, and had no problems using it to open Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, and getting information off of the web. She later commented that it was much better than Windoze 8, and easier to use.

I ran a Wireless ISP, and there are NO better network sniffing tools than on Linux.

Amen,

I try every year or so and It’s always little things that should work that end up killing the experiment. Things like printing problems, dodgy docking station support, dual monitor support sucks, and my least favorite game of all, Driver Search.
