IвЂ™ve experienced the power and awe of it. I think itвЂ™s really cool to type all those nifty commands. But at this point, God forgive me, I am not very familiar with Linux shell commands.

I am knowledgeable enough to know how to install drivers and tweak system settings. In fact, Kubuntu didnвЂ™t install perfectly. I could have dealt with all kinds of other issues. IвЂ™m not saying IвЂ™ve never had a problem with Windows. Okay? *buntu is one of the best desktop distributions IвЂ™ve ever installed.

Like I said, I am still interested and LOVE Linux. Seems like a pragmatic and sensible mindset to me, be your network 1 machine or hundreds of machines. He now manages (among other things) the WSUS service for 200,000 users. I got this mindset from a chap at work whoвЂ™s been around since the days of punch cards.

A faulty patch can cost you hours of problems and potentially break a critical application you need вЂњright nowвЂќ. ItвЂ™s not so much about the platform, but the severity of the impact on being able to work. No matter what system you use, itвЂ™s always prudent to be patient and wait 48hrs to see if there are any known issues published before updating your system. No matter how much (ВЈ1 or ВЈ10m) is spent on QA and testing, things will always slip through. This, IMO, is sensible behaviour when you canвЂ™t afford for things to break.

You hear the same for linux as you do Windows вЂ“ patches breaking things.Дue to the wide variety of software installed, I always try to wait a couple of days (the urgency of security patches can be alleviated by proper firewalling and sensible usage) to wait and see what pops up on the internet for a given update before applying. There will always be bugs that slip through QA.

Now, Microsoft does release at least one good product (Office) Windows is (slowly) improving and it would be naive to expect marketing to have any resemblance to reality, but with Windows (specifically, the OS, as an OS and not as an applications platform), marketing and reality are in different universes whether the vast majority of userbase realise it or not. Regardless of the actual intelligence of the people saying it вЂ“ and some pretty intelligent people have said it вЂ“ that is вЂ“ literally, in the proper sense of the word вЂ“ retarded. Or that вЂњyou shouldnвЂ™t have to learn to use a computer to use itвЂќ, which is equivalent to saying вЂњyou shouldnвЂ™t have to learn to speak French to speak itвЂќ. Worse, they say things like вЂњthe problem with Windows and viruses is that virus writers shouldnвЂ™t write virusesвЂќ, which is like saying we shouldnвЂ™t have police departments but should just rely on everyone obeying the law. Those are problems that rebooting, reinstalling, or unquestioning obedience to the Windows religion (and believe me, there are a *lot* more adherents of the Windows religion than the equivalent Linux zealots, both in terms of numbers and percentage) will *not* solve. But then if they (or someone else) gets a showstopping bug with Windows/MacOS (like, it keeps rebooting every fвЂ™ing five minutes like Windows 98 or WindowsXP + a nice little virus did to me) they expect people to suck it up.

ItвЂ™s that somehow, new or non-users of Linux have this frame of mind where they expect Linux to work perfectly all the time regardless of bugs, uncooperative hardware companies, and stupid or careless user error and if it doesnвЂ™t they say L1nuX dr00lz and Windows/MacOS r00lz. I doubt itвЂ™s the fact that person X or Y reinstalled Windows that pisses Linux вЂњzealotsвЂќ off. Improved the quality of the post (spelling, grammarвЂ¦) If anything, IвЂ™m doing anti-troll advocacy.

ItвЂ™s not a question of supporting Canonical I would hold a similar position for any other system.Д®xtremist? I just the best OS for my tasksвЂ¦ Dunno from where you got the advocacy part. In the case of Ubuntu, thereвЂ™s even a live CD which allows you to access the Internet without reinstalling an OSвЂ¦ Perhaps I am overestimating the audience here, but I suppose that if you can whine here, then you can search forums for your issue. If you donвЂ™t bother to persevere, then did you really wanted to change? It doesnвЂ™t matter whether itвЂ™s Linux, MS-Windows, BeOS, NetBSD or Plan9 : every system got its own quirks which you have to get used to. Giving up an OS because it doesnвЂ™t suit your needs is one thing, giving up at the first issue and whining is another. Why would you bother to switch if you are happy with your current system? Let me explain: unless you have some interest in OSes or have really nothing to do, you are probably trying an alternative OSes for a reason. Okay, I must admit that вЂњcommitmentвЂќ wasnвЂ™t the wisest word to use.
