I'm kind of tired of these myths: "linux is for geeks", "linux is ugly", "linux is not easy" and many more... Let's be real, we'll be never able to explain why people do not install linux, but there are some stupid myths around linux, windows and mac...
Windows is not too bad.
I can't really explain why some people could say that... every day hundreds of viruses and bugs are discovered, a common user have to reinstall windows every 2 or 3 months! and "windows is not too bad"! for real?
Linux is Ugly.
Really? This is my Desktop... is this ugly?
KDE 4.3.1
Linux is not friendly...
I really do not know why people say this... We can choice between many desktop enviroments and personalize these enviroments really easy... I really like KDE but some of my friends likes GNOME, others XFCE and many more. And we can install all this enviroments for free just doing click. This is how my desktops looks like normally when I'm not working:
Amarok, Twitter and Firefox on Linux
There is too hard to find the programs.
What?! We just need to do a click to see all the applications installed by default.
menu on kde 4
Install programs and updates is not easy as on Windows or Mac?
There is something easy than just click? On linux we do not need to search on Internet to find an application. All we need to do is just click and linux find the application, download from internet, install and configure the application for us. Also we have a cron that search for updates periodically, when there is an Update we jus have to click and that's it!
KPackageKit
Windows have better effects than Linux
Really? Windows can do this?
Cube on KDE 4.3.1
Multimedia and Hardware support on Linux
If Adobe do not wants to launch their applications for Linux... Is not Linux fault! Face it! Besides many companies are writing drivers por linux as Intel, HP, ATI, GeFroce, Dell, HP...
Too many Linux Distributions
What is the exact problem? That people do not like to read a second and know what they are doing, not a problem of Linux or Free Software.
The command line is old school
A common user does not need to write a single command to do common tasks, but anyways the "man" command explain how to use all commands on linux.
Yakuake on KDE 4.3.1
Conclusion.
There are more reasons than these stupid myths about why people do not use Linux... there are many stupid myths about this... some people say that Linux is just for Geeks, but those people who say that do not know nothing about linux. That's all! Linux is for Everyone!
