I dont have many of the issues I hear alot of people having with Linux. I find it more plug and play than Windows. The only time Ive ever had to install a driver was for Atheros wifi, which is now fully supported. Everything just works. Its not that Linux has a steep learning curve, its because most are already used to Windows, and thus treat Linux like Windows, which it is not. If you took a complete computer newbie, and start them off on Linux instead of Windows....chances are Windows would seem foreign to them a few years down the road when they finally sit down with it. This sole reason is why Microsoft is a monopoly. Not because they make alot of money off of their software, but because your average Joe was lead to believe its their only choice for an OS. There arent too many prebuilt computers aside from some netbooks and Dells that come with a distro preinstalled.
