This is in no way a bashing of Linux. I love linux, I use it daily, but it's the desktop that I have issues with..
I've used Linux as a Desktop exclusively from 1999 to circa 2008. When I finally gave up. I think it was Ubuntu releasing buggy PulseAudio which broke the sound for me that was the last straw.
I still use Linux as a desktop occasionally but I just don't have the patience to deal with the weird quirks anymore. And there were plenty of quirks over the years.
I never understood why Linux went with Windows inspired ctr-c and ctr-v. For me especially since I do most of my work in a terminal window it was always counter intuitive. Shift-Ins is problematic on laptop keyboards and even on full size keyboards it requires both hands.
Each year (or so it seems) Bryan Lunduke does a "Why Linux Sucks <year>"(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSxX8a_TC7I http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSxX8a_TC7I) and I love it.
- patmcguire 13y agoAudio is one of those things they've never figured out. There's a good "truth in graphs" about that: http://blogs.adobe.com/penguinswf/files/penguinswf/linuxaudio.png http://blogs.adobe.com/penguinswf/files/penguinswf/linuxaudi...
- jebblue 13y agoFor Ubuntu it's been figured out for years. I use Google Voice, play music, do audio in multiple accounts, it all just works.
- viseztrance 13y agoFYI you can use ctrl + shift + c / ctrl + shift + v to copy / paste text in your terminal.
