Yup... I don't do games. If I did, I'd be dual booting.
But... "problems, crashes, incompatibility and frustration"? Nope. Not my experience at all. Maybe I'm using hardware that's all too boring.
Ok, let me rephrase that. I've been having a think.
I've never actually had a crash or a freeze with Linux, so my error there.
I have had refusing to boot, quite a lot, after I used a wrong command here and there.
Incompatibility - yes, particularly with printers and scanners, but that's getting better I notice.
Frustration - Yes, in shedloads
I'l say this - without an internet connection and therefore without online help, I don't think anybody could master Linux in a reasonable time - like, say, two years full time
And me - I hate to rely on people and I hate to wait.
I sometimes wonder, if people had to pay for Linux - would they even bother?
Or, conversely, would it actually make more people get involved? Human beanz are a strange lot, many adhere to this strange thought that for something to be any good, it has to cost money. I mean, Nortons have exploited that angle to the full
Maybe I'll have another go shortly - expect a zillion stoopid questions in the near future
