I'm a little disappointed in Mossberg with this. He's right about some things - it is too much trouble to get DVDs, Flash, etc. working with Ubuntu, especially when so many things work so well.
I've been strongly recommending Ubuntu or OS X to the cloud of relatives, friends, relatives of friends, and friends of relatives who seem to think that just because I do something with computers that I'm a resource for desktop support. I would much prefer to try to fix problems with Ubuntu than those with Windows. Mossberg should have asked his resident hackers which they'd rather fix.
- Zak 19y agoI think you've just touched on the most important point of the whole discussion: the best OS for the average user is the one that their friend/relative/lover geek will be happy to fix for beer/home cooked meal/sex.
- Jd 19y agoDepends. I'd prefer to have an OS that the end-user can use easily so that fixes are less frequent. However, if the payoff is sex then perhaps I would reconsider.
