Id use linux if I didnt have to learn how to program so much. I installed linux, I thought yes this is good. I had to install some nvidia drivers. In windows you click one file. In linux I had to type out a lot of code. It gave an error saying install this first, I went to install that, it said install this other thing first...At that point I thought okay so if its going to be like this all the time I really dont think ill bother. I was having to learn about bizarre coding to install some graphics drivers. Im a bit of a geek but even i wasnt interested or understanding why I need to or would want to, so the average person isnt either.
If linux was more user friendly it would be more popular. Everyone knows windows needs a competitor, but until linux makes itself a lot more usable to the average person then its not even a competitor, let alone a viable alternative. We need a big company to make a decent rival, perhaps virgin or someone can come up with something
