I just installed a new nvidia geforce video card on my system. When I rebooted I got a blank screen. I searched the forums and found a solution that fixed it within a few hours. On the other hand, the last time I ran Windows,I bought a new printer that sat unused and gathered dust for 3 months before I found a driver that would run it. Linux support is free and windows charges for their support. Yes linux does have some problems, but its free thats why there is more ditros. Every one has diferent taste so if you dont like one try another, they are free and support is free. Or pay $250.00 for windows vista or 7 and support is not free and you are stuck with it. On the other hand most of the problems in linux is caused because vendors dont cooperate with their drivers, and linux and open source has to come up with a way to work around it.They are doing a good job of it in most cases. Ill stick with linux. I dont like unity either so I stick with gnome.

This is a bug, which Ubuntu is designed to fix. Non-free software is holding back innovation in the IT industry, restricting access to IT to a small part of the world's population and limiting the ability of software developers to reach their full potential, globally. This bug is widely evident in the PC industry. Steps to repeat: 1. Visit a local PC store. What happens: 2. Observe that a majority of PCs for sale have non-free software pre-installed. 3. Observe very few PCs with Ubuntu and free software pre-installed. What should happen: 1. A majority of the PCs for sale should include only free software like Ubuntu. 2. Ubuntu should be marketed in a way such that its amazing features and benefits would be apparent and known by all. 3. The system shall become more and more user friendly as time passes.
