Similar view on 'young and learning' and 'older with other priorities'. Started using linux on servers in 99 (slackware, mostly), and desktop/laptop (mostly redhat, and some debian and gentoo for a while) in 2000. I do miss the fish protocol in konqueror/kde. I will say that with... KDE4(?) I just gave up caring about moving back to desktop Linux. Never cared much for gnome experience - had really liked KDE3. As recently as a month ago, a colleague was writing to our local Linux list about laptop sleeping vs suspending, and how to get those working, and there was some discussion about why you'd want to do that, hardware support, BIOS issues, etc. Life is just way too damn short for me to care about any of that stuff. Yeah, I may be giving up some 'freedom' in an abstract sense (or perhaps even, maybe, a real sense) but... really, I just want to close the lid and not think about it.
