Elessar I was having the same discussion with a friend couple nights ago. I told them I said, if you have an older parent or grandparent etc., And all they do is browse the internet or watch YouTube or do word processing, then Linux is the operating system for them.
However for people like my friend and I who are big PC gamers, Linux is just not a feasible operating system and the thing that really sucks about it is, that I told him, in the next 5 years Linux is not going to progress as far as software compatibility goes.
And I think that's where they lose a lot of people because they're focused in the wrong areas when they do these updates to their operating system. They should be worrying more about "how can we better make software compatible with our operating system" rather than worrying about things in the background that really in the long run don't matter.
If I could run games easier on Linux, I would switch over in a heartbeat. I actually did install it all for 2 days, and it was a pain in the ass to figure out why it wasn't booting, but once I figured it out, it was straightforward and easy to use, but there was a lot of looking up for certain things I had to do on the internet, to figure out how to get things to run more efficiently.
