For the record, I tried for a whole, a whole year, to run Linux in the form of Fedora. It wasn't like I tried, very hard, to make it work. It was impossible. It was not that I was noob expecting to be happy in 2 hours, no, a whole year. I will try again but I have only some many years left on this Earth and I won't waste it trying to make something work when it isn't possible even if the Linux elite think their shit don't stink and my brain does. What I learned was that Linux is a hobby all in itself and not a tool if you need it for a full desktop environment.
The windows way of thinking doesn't work for unixoidal OSs. Most of the frustration comes from the fact that most windows users learned where to click over the years. With the migration to linux their knowledge becomes nearly useless. Do you remember when
MS Office got ribbons? Same story.
This is exactly the kind of attitude toward someone like me that I was referring to. Please read again that I spent a year on it, not 1 day, not 1 week, not 1 month, but a year. I compiled my own kernel, compiled my own programs to try and make the dependency problems go away, I tried to find alternative programs to do what I wanted to do. I was told you can't do that, stop being a windows noob, stop using modern hardware and use something two years old, use 4 or 5 different distros and boot configurations to do the specific things needed. In other words, if you need to do something Linux can't do, you are an idiot. I have zero respect for the Linux elite and their illogical and snobbish religious zeal over something that doesn't work as a full desktop OS. At least that was the state at the time I tried it.
Your answer is just the typical answer to those who you think didn't try, just because you think Linux can do anything and everything. Too bad it can't unless what you want to accomplish with Linux is to learn how to compile and fix dependencies as the reason to use Linux instead of getting all the things done I have listed. I prefer to have one computer, one OS, one configuration to get things done. I can't waste time having three different setups, or more, just to do what I can do with one right now.
Do I respect MS? NO! Is there anything I have run into with windows that I want or need to do that requires me to do multiboot configurations like is needed for me to do with Linux? NO! Will I move to Win10 if Win7 can't continue for me as it is? NO! I will put up with the aholes and the "holier than thou" elitists who do nothing but berate anyone who tries to use Linux in the real world. I might even actually dump everything I have and own and go Mac
