Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! I'm interested in Linux. It's not Microsoft or Google.
It's open source. But I don't run Linux.
An OS that is difficult to install is not a friendly OS. People understand this.
If documentation is vague or excessively wordy, the OS will be difficult to
use. People understand this.
The only installation decisions I should have to make are: What user name do I
want? What time zone am I in? I should not have to decide what GUI I want. That
should be determined later or not at all.
For everyone who doesn't have their own development department to adapt Linux
kernels to their widget, Linux has been a toy OS for technoweenies. That hasn't
changed in 10 years and Linux has made no headway on the desktop (or the
laptop). Why is that?
