A lot of people seem to jump onto the Linux bandwagon, because software is free. But, a lot of open source software that started life on Linux are ported to Windows. So, I guess for the average user, it seems there is little reason to use Linux as an alternative OS.
People also talk about stability. Yeah, I think Linux is stable, especially if I am to compare Linux with Windows 95. But, I think Windows has evolved into a stable OS, too.

Yeah, Same issue with Wines. I haven't figure out how. I got just couple of old games working but rest of it don't. I got a copy of Cedegna and installed it in Ubuntu. I couldn't figure out how to get it to reconize my game (Myst3 Sequel of Riven which are heavily graphical game tho it's old).
It is true that Linux is improving but need some work with several hardware issue. Webcam is just the beginning for Linux even though Linux based Netbooks is able to use Webcam that works with it.
I noticed that Synapic package manager is improving and less to compile. I'm still stumped trying to compile downloaded file. I only can unzip no problem but here files in folder, I can't seem to figure it out how to install it!!. I just copy and paste commands whenever I find it.
