You're right, but! If Linux were easier to use, it would be more popular.
Most anyone can get a program to work with Windoze but from what I have seen
on the Linux newsgroups, hardly anyone gets Linux installed without
difficulty, let alone get their programs to run smoothly. Why is this, I
wonder???

Yes, Linux can be more flexible (so they say....) but one has to put in
years of study to achieve that flexibility. Or maybe there is something
obvious that I am missing....??
