Why does everyone think "Ubuntu" when talking about Linux? I find the
Ubuntu desktop almost as annoying as the Windows one. Even worse, Ubuntu
feels like a Windows clone. Most of this is because it uses GNOME by
default.
If you really want to use Linux, don't use a crappy desktop environment
(they're all crappy), pick a small window manager (like fluxbox), and
live in the command line.
Neither user nor programmers should pretend that Linux is a Windows
replacement. It's different. You will be disappointed if you expect a
replacement. Actually, using Windows is better in this case.
Well obviously Windows is the best if you're looking for something
exactly like Windows. Other than that it's a matter of opinion. I use
KDE on one laptop and Gnome on another, and I like both miles better
than Windows. Use what you like. There's no canonical way to use a Unix
machine.
