| Having growen up, before the onslaught of Windows. I feel that windows is a little more easy. Manly to do with the fact. That it is preinstalled on most computers.
However once you get into the Linux grove. Your thinking starts to change. Building a network is far easy in Linux, than in Windows.
I think the main downfall of Linux is, that you have a different learning curve.
What i mean is, if you wish to install a game on windows. You slot in the cd, allocate space. Then most of the time. If you system is setup. You can play a game.
With linux it works a litlle differently. I have just started, got used to using aptitude. Now have to fingue out how to get these downloads working from the internet. Then my sound card, etc.
I think the linux community should make a standard disc set. So if you had no computer with an OS. You could insert a floppy. To get a basic shell and cd drive working. Insert the cd, which would give up basic desktop. A easy download OS sites, one click and you have it. No learning, no reading, just there. I know this is a bit of a pipe dream.
A work online turtorials, if you wish to do this. Click this, this and that. If that does not work try this. etc
What goes 'up', must come 'down', unless it goes around and round. |
