The following question relates so closely to the theme here that I am posting it in hopes it is considered appropriate. Thanks so much... Ok, I have been in computers about 25 years but not at the bits and bytes level. A year ago I bought a Dell desktop and had a very long difficult experience with the machine they sent and the customer service they provided. The NYS AG is suing Dell in a class action suit for many of the problems I encountered. It is my understanding that MS will stop supporting XP Pro effective August or sometime in the next year. I am seriously thinking of moving to Linux so as to simplify my life. But the question is will it truly simplify my life? Or put another way, for someone who just wants a simple reliable computer, does it make sense to move to Linux? I mean China and other countries have decided to go with Linux. I just want a simple computer system that I can rely on and MS with its plan for Vista, etc. is getting me very tired of all their problems. I have read the following: http://linuxondesktop.blogspot....u-704.html http://linuxondesktop.blogspot....u-710.html and think Linux on the desktop might require more work than I want. I am a simple man with simple needs. Isn't Linux still a ways off from being sufficiently GUI for me? Do you know of any websites that address my particular level of questions? Thanks.
