I've had similar problems as well. There are so many things that most
people take for granted about Windows. It normally means extra effort
when you're using a system like linux.
Take ergonomics for example. When I used to Windows, The system ensured
that I took the prescribed number of breaks from using the keyboard and
mouse. This damn linux thing refuses to crash! I'm forced to work all
these extra hours.
Thanks to Linux, I am forced to take breaks. Whenever I open a
multi-page pdf file, it hangs into a runaway process and I am forced to
reboot my computer and re-download the pdf. Windows is so boring, I
simply double click on that file and it opens up without any fuss. I
also find my Linux hanging when I open Firefox, OO and Thunderbird
together. Windows just does not listen and opens them up side by side.
What about maintaining my presence on the Internet. Windows would make
sure that all my information is already there without my even having to
consent to it. Linux forces me to input my data where ever I need to.
I never had this problem in windows. I used an interactive firewall. In
linux I cannot control what goes out of my system. The firewall works
one way only.
Social Networking - It was so nice to have so many people working with
me on the Windows box. Now I have to be content with being the only one
working on my lappy and look to third party sites for meeting people.
Nope, not true in my case.
The bottom line is that windows and linux have their set of problems, so
bashing Windows does not solve Linux problems.
