I can't take anymore comments like "Debian/Gentoo/OpenBSD/etc. are not good/user-friendly because they lack a graphical installer." Searching the web, I couldn't find a comprehensive site describing the good and the bad about graphical installers for various OSes throughout the years, so in this article I hope to debunk a few of the myths on the basis of my own personal and professional experience.

No! Linux is NOT ready for mainstream desktops, no one claims it is. The text age is here and it is now. Each Operating system has it's own interface in how to interact with it. With Unix and Unix like OS', it's much easier to interface quickly with a command line. Develop a GUI, fine...but it's usable for many people right now, and they claim they love it.
We are not holding back, you are just glued to the idea of eye candy and happiness. To each his own.
