My current issue is i see you guys constantly having issues, editing files etc.
Is it not stable?
Can you not set it up and then not have ongoing issues?

(To preface, when I say “Linux”, I’m referring to the effectively established colloquialism that “Linux” means kernel + utilities + distribution = operating system)
Right. In fact, at home, I run all three operating systems. To me, it’s using the right tool for the job. Windows is a great OS for gaming (though Valve is working to make it as viable on Linux, it’s still not…quite…there, but close). Mac is great for UX, media work, and as a work PC (software development or otherwise). Linux is great for tinkering, software development, and running services.
The “issues” that the OP even refers to are usually not so much real issues, but rather a person simply trying to learn. And that’s what is great about Linux for someone who doesn’t yet know it – there’s a LOT to learn. I’ve been using Linux since 1999 (big box Redhat 5.1!) and I still often learn something new about it.
Very much agree. In a lot of cases the problems people encounter are just a different and therefor unfamiliar way of doing things. This can sometimes be remedied by finding a GUI that is more similar to what they are familiar with, but this is also likely a different and unfamiliar task :)
