How hard is Linux?

"Linux" is not difficult. In fact, I can make the case that it is easier to use than Windows. The learning curve may be steeper, but the ease-of-use once you have learned it, is better.

Just an anecdotal story. I kept WinXP on a partition here at the house. I needed to review a couple of items related to some stuff at work on Windows, so I booted into XP and have been working on it the last few days. Both my wife and my daughter have been griping about "when are we going back to Mepis.... I liked it better..... Windows is too SLOW.... there are too many popups in Windows (IE)." It is just an anecdotal story, I know, but it is an illustration that for the avg computer user just looking to check mail and surf, Linux is fine and serves the end user well. I should add that my wife is terribly digitally illiterate and my youngest daughter has a measured IQ of 68 (she finished the 8th grade).

The "loyalty" people have to windows is just familiarity, nothing more.
