my problem with linux is not the OSes, it's development done on programs that i
use with linux. some of these guys are screwballs, still developing older
versions of things while also newer versions are coming out. that's chaos.
I'm not a fan of a gui in linux; i prefer cli.
Regarding windows, i think that's pretty damn easy to run despite the fact that
they keep hiding things away in the UI.
