Despite fantastic advances with Desktop Linux as a collective whole, there still seems to be some hurdles that this Windows alternative has yet to overcome. In this piece, I’ll examine these from my own perspective, that of a full time Linux user.

For example, this statement:

Desktop Linux is not ready for prime time

Perhaps one of the most inaccurate statements to have ever be committed to the printed word, I have read over and over how desktop Linux is simply not ready for casual desktop use. On the contrary, it is being used everyday by Windows refugees who simply opted out of 'the system.’

The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you’re inside, you look around. What do you see? Business people, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system, and that makes them our enemy.

You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inert, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.

As corny as the above movie quote may be, it remains completely accurate with regard to the Windows OS.
