But why is the percentage of surfers using Linux so small ?
Is it mainly because of the games or are the shortcomings
of Linux an important factor and which ones most ?
Kind regards Philippe
I'd say games, yes, also hardware drivers too. But the main thing is
probably people thinking that windows (mostly, though mac too of course)
is how computers work.
When I switched to Linux, the biggest thing that struck me was the
amazement that here was something running the computer that wasn't
windows, after that how nice it looked and that it wasn't as terrifyingly
geeky as I had heard. There was a very steep learning curve at the start,
when I was so frustrated about not knowing how to do the most basic things
that I was so familiar with. It took a couple of months of determination
to get over this, and since then I only pop over to the XP side to play
games. I wonder if I hadn't had such a bad feeling about MS in general and
arrival of Vista in particular, whether I would have stuck with it. I'm
very glad I did.
Cheers,
David
