I can't say I never tried. Sorry to anyone else who uses Linux. But I have to leave it to go back to Windows. Not because of external circumstances. Rather, I've noticed it's fast and responsive.

I read an article last night that rang home though. If you are a new user that just needs the basics, then Linux works for you. By default, it has everything and anything the beginner needs and more. If you are an expert, then Linux is perfect for you, for you can modify and tweak it to your whim, and have the perfect OS for you in no time.

But if you're an intermediate power user, used to tweaking things with certain programs, someone who hates to use the default Explorer.exe to browse around, one who fixes Viruses and Spyware and enjoys the challenge.. well, Linux isn't for me then.

Linux doesn't seem that it's mature enough for me. I'm unable to find a replacement for Q10, I've been unable to get my track ball working perfectly, replacing themes, while easy, seems too easy. And there are a few other complaints too, mostly because of my laziness as well as alternives being few and far in between. XMMS was a great replacement for The KMPlayer, Mercury was great for MSN, heck, I use OpenOffice.Org under Windows, so I don't even use MS Office. But they just don't have replacements for several of the programs I enjoy using time and time again.

It's a great OS, don't get me wrong. I loved using Linux, and I don't doubt I'll go to it in 2014, once Windows XP is no longer supported. But as of this very moment, it's not complete enough for me. They say there is a lot of choice, and while this is true, there doesn't seem to be enough in my choices to do certain things.

I'm afraid Linux is a non-flier at this point. Maybe I'm just getting bored of computers? I really don't know...

I'll be around, of course, but I can't assure anyone how much I will say. If anyone needs any software, note me. Honestly, I've very bored of this SSDD, so please do.

I love you very much my love.
