Lately, there has been a "Why linux isn't ready for the desktop" article every 3 days. Most of the time, these articles originate from a lack of understanding or acceptance of the open source system. I'd like to try to address some of the common arguments against linux here, and try to help people understand why linux probably won't be on your desktop for a while.

One thing that few have spoken of is OS diversity. I own five computer's and run a different OS on each of them: Debian, XP, OS-X, FreeBSD, Fedora. Now granted I love Linux the best, I'm not going to rip on another system do to the simple fact they all have their pros and cons. I can play state of the art games on XP, compleatly customize my Linux installs, enjoy the beautiful 3D GUI of OS-X, etc. I say just either try out a few different ones and go with what you like most. If you don't have the luxery of being able to experiment then stick with what you have now, just realize that you might be missing out on something that you might like better!
