I dont' know why it is so hard for some people to be honest to themself
and see that Kde is really great but has just to many bugs.
I've seen many people trying out linux, but resigning because of things
that just don't work. For sure its no option for them to write bug
reports and wait until it is fixed. So the only logical consequence to
attract users is to make sure, that when a software is released, there is
no need to write bug reports because ALL main things just work.
Sadly, I need to agree with you. I have two laptops, two client desktop
workstations and a server here at home, and all at one time were running
SuSE Linux. Now, because of reliability issues, only one client
workstation and the server are running Linux. Once I can find the time
to migrate the workstation to XP-Pro without losing email and such,
we'll be down to just the server running Linux.
That's because I can't afford to administer a home domain with Server
2008, and we DO find it convenient to share resources among our
computers. And I don't like to reboot a server every time Microsoft
releases a update - it's not a big issue with a workstation.
I'm not going to reiterate all the problems I've had - I doubt I've had
any that haven't been reported already. The cumulative effect is simply
this: I don't enjoy using Linux nearly as much as I used to, and the
plain truth is, I don't have to.
Thunderbird and Firefox run just fine on Windows, as does FileZilla and
just about everything else I could want. There is plenty of good
open-source software for Windows as well. Linux - to me, anyway - just
doesn't offer the advantages that it once did. Maybe Windows (with the
exception of Vista) is just getting better? Dunno.
stability are running the latest SUSE? SUSE and Fedora are perhaps the two
most bleeding edge distros around. If you choose to run them you are choosing
to take more risks with your system. I have few problems with Fedora, but
when they do occur I accept that it is part of the bargain - I choose a
bleeding-edge distro and use bleeding edge repos for my software. The laptop
that runs Mandriva is much more stable - but I miss out on the latest
improvements. As the saying goes, "You can't have your cake and eat it".
