Thank you very much you very leet person, super techie, kpmwrestler.
I'll tell you why people don't use Linux. Because you Linux people scare people away from Linux. Your very irritating banter is another example of what is making people shy away from Linux. It's your type of person that doesn't want to help a person with the Linux basics.
Well, lightweight = ugly, you Linux people gotta work on that first. Also the numerous crashes with KDE, a good looking interface. Of course, Gnome I prefer. Very good looking with minimal crashes and not heavy heavy memory usage.
You people who use Linux as your primary computer that you use for everything, you make me laugh. Really, you do. Because I too, like you Linux people, prefer to have incompatibility, crashes (trying to emulate Windows games, or just using KDE). Sure, you might be able to do everything Windows can, but what do we have to sacrifice?
From what I know about Linux users, they always boast about themselves being so much better than other people. I go into #Linux of practically any server and see you people poking fun at "newbies". Get a life, please, if you want Linux to be popular you must teach these "newbies".
As for Linux being unpopular compared to Windows, you have the following to do in order to change it:
1. Easy Installation (accomplished on some Linux OSs)
2. Easy network setup, perhaps even dialup
3. Help people who know nothing about Unix
4. Create a GUI application to change EVERYTHING
5. More drivers
6. Each open-source program pre-compiled for easy download and install
All in all, less command prompt. You people are trying, but you're not even coming close. I'm a terminal dude, and I know why people don't like my side of the coin. I can see why people don't like Linux, there's still much terminal reliance.
Oh and, you just totally got trolled. YHBTYHLHAND.
