I should be excited about the community rallying around a OSS DE, that took you a MONTH to 'get into' ?
You must be kidding me!
No wonder linux, has zero market share to speak of, and no wonder Windows maintains it so amazingly well. Im all for OSS, but your final comments make it clear , why the linux community has no clue whatsoever, when it comes to users needs, and given that clarity, its no wonder the windows world is where it is.
I therefore am glad I made the decision when I did, to leave linux in the dust as my main stay, because I grew weary, short of being glad oss has something for those who can't or wont afford windows, of fixing things daily and tweaking and dealing with a unstable, non useable product, in part imho, due to the ridiculous short devel cycle, that is linux.
Nope, don't miss it, and this review cements that my decision, and those of all my friends, were spot on, to say, we pass,- maybe later on linux.
The lack of games and important apps for linux, atm, makes it a expensive toy. By expensive, I mean the tweaking I/we needed to do, to get somewhere usable.
Remind me again, why linux needs so many 'distros', and why windows has ONE and maintains its solid market share ?
