This is my reaction to Tsu Dho Nimh's "Migrating to Linux not easy for Windows users" featured on Linuxworld.com recently. It's not a response, I'm not challenging his opinions, which I feel are not only valid, but mostly right, it's just a reaction.

Learning curve my A$$, why should someone have to mess to xfree's config file just to change a driver, what the hell is the "profound enlightenment" that you get by knowing the inner workings the "/etc/X11R6/XFree86Config-4"?, or having to use the command line to build the freakin driver? That's not learning, that moving a step backwards down in evolution.
Spending half an hour just to install a driver or an app that could have otherwise been installed by a couple of mouse clicks is just lame. The whole point of using a destop enviroment is ->NOT<- having to use a command line, that's the reason they where invented in the first place.
