Default Re: Who do newcomers give up on Linux?

Agreed with Heidi,

Windows users, who want to try/use Linux, install it and expect it to work just like Windows does (the thing they're used to). Often, no matter how hard you bang their heads, they don't seem to get that Windows is not the only way how an operating system could work. So if one expects Linux to work, look and feel like Windows, why try/use Linux in the first place? It gets even more hilarious when newbies complain and throw stupid sentences like "... but in Windows, all I do is click this and it works.... why doesn't Linux do the same?"... Because Linux does not work like Windows, duh! If you don't want to at least learn the basics how to operate things in Linux, you might just as well go back to Windows and keep your mouth shut
