Aside from gaming? I don't want to set aside one of the things I like the most.Originally Posted by Dr Unne
I also like Photoshop. Gimp wasn't my thing, really. Ofcourse, I could install Linux, set up WINE or WMware, then tweak them some in order to make Photoshop run (probably less effective) under Linux. But why, when it works right out of the box under Windows XP, an OS that hasn't really given me any problems.
Getting wireless LAN to work on my laptop is supposedly a bitch too. At least that's what a friend of mine said, and he seems to know a lot about linux. That was a while ago though, things may have changed. Furthermore, I don't know how well Linux will like my integrated ATI graphics adapter.
Half of those things you mentioned are things I would never let near my computer :p. So yeah, subjective. I prefer my GUIs to be minimalistic and effective.Mirage: I guarantee you that if you were to get a group of people to look at a Windows desktop (as heavily modified as you could get it) and at a Linux desktop (using Beryl), nine out of ten people would be more impressed with the Linux desktop. Better font rendering, bigger icons, smoother window decorations. Not to mention 3D desktops, blur effects, animation effects and transparency effects. Hell I could make it rain on my desktop as an entirely useless feature, but it looks awesome.
