Re: The apps, not the enviroment

I tried out installing Linux on my machine, and with the crappy computer I have, I couldn't get it past 640x480 in Linux. All the drivers on this computer are for Windoze only, so I'm stuck with it.
What I want to say is that there seems to be little real motivation for the common Windows user who has been using Windows all his/her life, and now people want them to use Linux. Sure, some of us realize that free=better, as well as stable, fast (though it did lag on my system, hardware garbage again), powerful and other things. I found it a little difficult to get it running myself, I can just imagine the hell an inexperienced user would have installing even the simplest (I was installing Mandrake) distro. Wait until they have to compile and such. Linux is obviously superiour, but is certainly not for the masses yet, it seems.
