I've only been using GNU/Linux since 2001, so I won't say that I'm by any means an expert yet, as most of those that are reading this, probably have been using Linux much longer than I have. However, I still have high hopes for the Linux scene. The purpose of this article is to voice my personal opinion on what I feel is keeping GNU/Linux from taking over the mainstream operating system market. My intentions aren't to "badtalk" the open source kernel+apps, but rather give constructive criticsm on what I personally feel it could be done better.

when i put ubuntu on someones computer, enable universe in synaptic, and show them how to browser the catoragories, read the descriptions and click install, then i am confident that they can install thousands of random packages and there system will remain clean, virus free and stable.
would you tell a windows user to, just search for something on google, and download and install it?
and with synaptic, if a new version of random-package comes out, they will be prompted to upgrade with that great new update icon thingy in the system tray.
