You never hear people complain about a release of OSX being an abortion. Many Linux distributions, particularly most Ubuntu and many other Debian based ones are quite user-friendly now. It seems to me a lot of people who prefer windows mostly do so because they learned or are more familiar on them. There are huge communities of developers for OSX, Linux, BSD and other UNIX based systems. Microsofts business model has always seemed to be force people to use there products. There is no reason why Microsoft Word doesn't support any other major word processing programs file formats. Pages can use open office files, open office can use Google docs files, and all can open word docs. With modern seamless VM clients and with Intel processors now having dedicated hardware to improve virtualization, 99% of users just don't need windows as there mane OS. :soapbox: That said to each there own. :dunno |

If you want simple logical user interface you can beat a mac. |

Getting a little salty in Nepal, bro. I'm using Crunch Bang. The guides, forum posts, and tutorials were all out of date and referenced options and settings that weren't present. My recollection was that it was buried somewhere in the GUI theme settings and I kick myself for not writing it on the disc. Oh well. |

Linux distributions are like jigsaw puzzles. There are endless combinations of GUI's, Repositories, and every other other pieces of an OS (including different versions of the API) that you could put together to make a distribution. If you just look at GUI options, you would have quit a long list. I bereave Crunch Bang is discontinued. The community has moved on and started a new distro. If you want something quick, light, and with long term support I would recommend Lubuntu. They striped out the slower aspects of Ubuntu, like there GUI (plasma) and replaced it faster lighter options, like the GUI LXDE. It keeps the ubuntu repositories and other key aspects of the OS, which means you can still use "ask ubuntu" pages as a resource. |
