linux.oneandoneis2.org — If you've been pointed at this page, then the chances are you're a relatively new Linux user who's having some problems making the switch from Windows to Linux. This causes many problems for many people, hence this article was written. Many individual issues arise from this single problem, so the page is broken down into multiple problem areas...

Windows is microwave meals.Linux is gourmet cooking.If someone just comes back from work and wants something to eat the microwave meal is what they want as it does what they want, in as little time as possible with as little effort as possible. Linux wants everyone to learn to be masterchefs so they can 'appreciate' their meal. Unfortunatley most people don't want to become masterchefs and are not even interested in cooking (as a lot of people simply are not interested in learning linux/computers).FTA: "If you want an OS that doesn't chauffeur you around, but hands you the keys, puts you in the driver's seat, and expects you to know what to do: Get Linux. You'll have to devote some time to learning how to use it, but once you've done so, you'll have an OS that you can make sit up and dance."The author is a moron anyway. He spends the whole article saying what Linux is, and what Linux isn't, and what it will never be, despite the fact that all that linux is is described in the GPL. He basically declares that normal users should never ever use Linux (as they just want to go on msn/myspace) after all, the main reasons touted for switching to Linux he entirely negates...FTA: "If you really just want Windows without the malware and security issues: Read up on good security practices; install a good firewall, malware-detector, and anti-virus; replace IE with a more secure browser; and keep yourself up-to-date with security updates. There are people out there (myself included) who've used Windows since 3.1 days right through to XP without ever being infected with a virus or malware: you can do it too. Don't get Linux: It will fail miserably at being what you want it to be.""If you really want the security and performance of a Unix-based OS but with a customer-focussed attitude and an world-renowned interface: Buy an Apple Mac. OS X is great. But don't get Linux: It will not do what you want it to do."Personally my next computer will be a mac with a dual boot/vm copy of XP. I have no reason what-so-ever to use Linux.

By the way, gaming on linux is much different to how it used to be - there's a linux gamers' scene emerging at the moment. Probably nothing to get carried away with, but there are LAN parties and everything...@Snoopsor, since you appreciate Python:def gaming(playing_games):

Vista won't be welcoming anyone, on account of being intensely inhospitable and problematic.We've used it to provide app support for early adopters, and fanboys can blow all the wind and vinegar they like because Microsoft have aimed the shotgun squarely at their right foot in making an expensive, laughable downgrade.
