Does Linux Suck?

Does Linux Suck?

Don't Install Linux Because It Sucks Trust Me I Look Like a Professor
Should You Bother With Linux

While there is a lot of talk about Windows and Macs, there is another alternative for the operating system your computer runs and that’s Linux. If you’ve never heard of it there’s a reason for that; not many people run it. And there’s a good reason for that too.

It sucks as a desktop operating system.

Linux has it’s uses and for running servers it’s a very, very, VERY good operating system. But for home computing it pretty much sucks.

Listen to the professor for now. Avoid the nightmare. Give it 10-15 more years and it might be worth taking a look at as a desktop OS replacement. Hopefully.

Right now Linux sucks as a desktop OS. And that’s after making a lot of progress.

It sucks.

Do you agree or disagree with the professor?

To regular computer users if everything works right on the install and you don't do anything out of the box you're fine just like a Mac but with even less users and a worse interface |-|

And if anything screws up you're really hosed. You can break the GUI easily which will dump you into command line hell and then its easier to reinstall than to look up the problem. Takes less time too. Linux is for hobbyists and server people. Hit it right on the nose again Vin!

I've installed and tested various linux distros over the years to see if it was worthwhile to set family members up with Linux on their computers and it just still isn't. Windows they can handle just fine and there's plenty of help waiting for them if they need it.
