The key reason i don't use Linux is because it wont play my games and all the interfaces suck.
When did you last try it? Of course there are issues with running some sort of emulator to run another operating system's software. That has always been the case.
For those who are not into games, of course, this is NOT an issue. ALL of the interfaces suck? What interfaces are you refering to?
MicroSoft spend allot of money on R&D to make the interface look appealing and the Linux Community spends how much on R&D?
That money is made from people who BUY their software by the way.
Linux is not a company, and as such there is no central development and R&D budget. Each distribution has their own way of doing business, but it is not and never will be on the scope of a Microsoft.
Sure a heavy duty computer user will have no real problem using Linux , if they put in the effort to get rid of all the extras that fill out the start menu, or maybe they'll run things from the terminal. but to you average office worker Windows is nice and Easy. and thats what makes it better.
This is an old comment from years ago, almost always given by people who have never actually used Linux, or at least not recently. Again, when is the last time you actually used a Linux system? What version?
it is not superior in any other way.
Wrong-o. What about a secure and free operating system, free software, no viruses and spyware just for starts?
and Linux has the problem of compatibility with so many different distros writing a program for Linux as a whole is almost impossible
Some distros use different methods of installations for historical reasons, but any .deb file can ge installed on a Debian based system, any .rpm can be installed on a RedHat or similar system, etc.
We can debate this some more, but I sense your mind is already made up. Now if you were PAYING for Windows vs. using Linux for free (and legal) you may have a different outlook also.
Cheers.
