Look... After more than ten years using many, many Linux distros, my conclusion is that the linux desktop (linux server works fine, thank you) is still a work in progress and probably always will be, never ready for serious use. Because whenever I think my desktop is finally usable, some retarded change something fundamental (gnome team, seen them around?) and I have to fix it again. And even when it is working the overall desktop performance is always inferior to the performance of Windows on the same hardware.
