Hello Jozef,
That is untrue. Man of the users still use some sort of application that
runs on Windows OS. It's just we hate to admit it or rather talk about
Linux OS or Linux related topics. Don't be discouraged. Yes, there have
been some very goofy going ons on the newsgroup. But, as on many
newsgroups, we have to break up the monotony with some joking. There are
many good people that spend many hours for the love it.
The great thing about Linux is that it makes you work harder on
isolating problems. It teaches you skills that you never thought you had
and it's fun. Personally, this is something that Windows lacks by
providing most things on a silver platter.
Cheer up. All is not lost. We all help each other.
