Linux Still Not Ready for Prime Time
I’m a Fedora fan, and I’m impressed with each new release, but in the end, its just nowhere near ready. You have to do far too much research and under the hood work to get it to do everything you want it to do, and in the end, not everyone writes drivers for Linux, and the community doesn’t write drivers for everything. The main problem to me is that the average consumer (non-savvy computer user), can figure out Windows from the start. Basically with Linux you have to learn how to use the OS before you can use it as your daily desktop OS. In Windows, you can use it as is, but then you can learn how to customize it to your liking and needs at your own pace, with little effort.
Fedora 10 was impressive to me, and I set it as my default boot target, and ran it for a while. Then the inevitable happened.
