Linux is eminently usable these days.
 
dgk stopped playing his vuvuzela long enough to say:

Linux users are definitely more computer savvy than most computer
users. They have to be since it is much more difficult to do anything
on it. Some of the GUI implementations are ok, but mostly Linux is
meant to be used from the command prompt and typical users have no
idea what a command prompt is.

If you want to play with the computer, Linux is great. If you want to
use it as an appliance to do work or games or something, Window works
pretty well.


Except *perhaps* for the first sentence, completely wrong.
