not Rocket Science? (Score 1)

I have to admit - I want to like Linux, and believe me I've tried. I am a pretty savvy computer user and have been trying out various distros for a few years. Installation is pretty much straightforward these days, most mainstream hardware is recognised out of the box. The problem with Linux is software! I shouldn't have to open a terminal, unpack a file, type some incomprehensible gobbledygook and then be told I don't have sufficient privelege or other similar obstacles to install or try out a piece of software. Equally, I shouldn't have to worry what distribution I'm using or different package manager concepts. For my part I would say that desktop Linux will never make it past the door until installing software is a double-click affair.
