The problem with Linux is the community's poor attitude toward users. bang! Snotty-assed-geek alert. I did in-home repair and instruction for a while, too, and absolutely love when a 75 year realizes that he can use information technology because Apple Computer designs for normal people.

OTOH, look at Ubuntu. They changed the desktop without concern for the user and now Mint is beating them on Distrowatch 2 to 1.

Yup. One Linux vendor messed up. Now users are exercising their choice to move to a different vendor.

Try that with Windows.
