As someone who has had great success developing carrier-grade telecom software on Linux platforms (yes, that's a plug), I can say without reservation that the Linux desktop(s) is (are) the most frustrating piece(s) of crap I have ever dealt with.

As a preposterously relevant example, if I hit "post" too soon after "preview," there is a better than even chance that my entire system will lock up and I have to do a manual power off/on. To be fair to the little POS, at least my post seems to take...

Well, well, well, I must have waited long enough...

When your code fails to work as expected do you blame the compiler and rush off to file a bug report, or do you try to figure out what's wrong with your code?

Maybe if you put a little effort into your desktop instead of rushing to the conclusion that Linux is "a frustrating piece of crap" you'd find out that it can be functional, stable and very pleasant to use.
