We have all heard the horror stories of how GNU/Linux is difficult, if not almost impossible, as far as general desktop usability is concerned. In particular, there seems to be a continuous stream of gripes printed across the Internet, from Microsoft Windows users who wish, or have tried, to migrate to GNU/Linux, yet gave up in frustration. But what happens when complete computer newbies are introduced to GNU/Linux? By computer newbies, I am referring to those who have no computer experience whatsoever, in either a Windows, Mac, Linux, Unix or other environment.

Just wait and you will see. The following questions will pop up sooner or later:
"Why can't I install this_and_this game on my computer??"
"Because you are using Linux."
"But why can my friends install it?"
"Because they are using Windows XP."
"So?? I thoght you told me Linux was better."
...
And guess what, every time the computer fucks up, (yes, shit happens, even for a linux computer), you are the only person around who can fix it.
Until one day, you are gonna wonder, why you did it in the first place.
