[Ubuntu-BD] [offtopic] Linux for everyone? Or Still Windows?

I used Ubuntu for a while in the past year. I'm sorry to say that
Linux offers no advantages -besides lack of license fee- compared to
Windows for the average user. Linux' capabilities are generally
overstated by a group of people that prefer anything that is not
commercial and make them feel special/ alternative as a user...as long
as they are not associated with corporate Microsoft.

There are a few diamonds in the open source world (Linux for Servers
for one) that are able to meet a broader (but still technically savvy)
public's demand. Not until the open source world is able to meet the
general dummy's user interface demands this will not improve a whole
lot.

(I cannot emphasize enough that I am pro open source. However I look
at the product's capabilities, not at who the creator behind it is.)
