What's sad about the state of Linux is that the answer to all problems is to go to the terminal. Granted, it is nice to have that option but they'll never beat out Microsoft when a typical end user cannot even use the software.
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

That's unfair, in my humble opinion.
As matter of fact, I use Lubuntu on several different virtual machines and it doesn't look more fragile than Windows by no means.

Have you tried turning it off an on again?

I never had that problem with Windows Vista!

As to Ubuntu, I have not used it extensively, but my general experience is that it is no better or worse than Windows. But it is different.

Driver support was my biggest problem and then just learning where things are is a pain in Linux. They don't name things very intuitively. So, for me, Windows is worth the money. I've learned my lesson.

Ubuntu is also worth the money (i.e nothing). You need to understand that Linux was never designed as a replacement for Windows. It's an open source version of UNIX that anyone can tailor to their own needs. As such it has many applications, but is not aimed at the average home PC user.

I think WinME is better than Linux.

Last saturday I had to go south towards Austria and guess what? All four (!) lanes of the highway are clogged up with vehicles from Mordor (you know: Yellow license plates, blue field with 'NL').
It takes really a small army to fill upn a highway with four lanes. An army of guys who don't have a clue about driving, but try to drive in cool formations across all lanes. And what are you all doing here? Don't you have work to do? Don't you have any mountains of your own? Must you really wear those wood shoes while driving?And let's not talk about that overwelming smell of cheese...
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

Our schools just had a week of vacation so everyone was out and returning on Sunday, that's why
Also, we really dislike the Germans, so our favorite pastime on a Sunday afternoon is to cross the border and bother some Germans orcs

So you finally agree that it was a good idea to avoid any 'free' upgrade to Win 10?
