Hi all,
this is my first post in openSUSE forums and I'm kinda new to openSUSE.

why do newcomers give up on linux?, that's a really good question because when you know the real problem, it's easier to find effective solutions.

I'll say my thoughts based on my short experience with linux (fedora and opensuse)


#1- Windows is easier to control and use, so why do I need to learn a new OS, which is not as easy?
#2- Colors on windows are better, fonts too.
#3- Touchpads sucks on linux, I have to tap at least twice. I really don't know if this is a common issue or it's just me, or maybe the touchpad's driver needs updating. Anyway, I believe it's not a problem with my touchpad itself as it works perfectly on windows.
#4- Linux is crashy, windows is not, or at least not as crashy as linux
#5- Every 6-8 months you'd set everything from scratch if you wanted to try the new release, which would seem to be more stable than the previous one, but unfortunately you find more bugs and more problems and eventually decide to stay with the older release till they fix all theses problems in the next one
#6- Linux is loaded with lots of apps that do the same thing. so you'll have to check each one to know which one is better. I wonder why don't developers integrate these similar apps into one powerful app which is able to do the job perfectly, like having 1 media player instead of 4 for audio and 3 for video playback
