Re: Who do newcomers give up on Linux?
My bet is that they see a nice shiny compiz enabled desktop with flying wobbly windows around the place, and the more adventurous ones think "hey I might grab me some of that". The simple fact of the matter is, is that they need to keep in mind at all times that linux is not doze. In my opinion linux is just a process to get used to, like learning a new map in a game. As soon as they see something that puts them out of their comfort zone slightly, they run back to their windows. I'd say I spend half my time on Linux getting it to work in the exact way I want it to.
