Linux is such an excellent operating system!
I especially like having my choice of window manager.
Right now, I am running FVWM.
What do you like or dislike about Linux?

I have tyoed with the idea of switching over to Linux but there are a few thing keeping me from doing so:

Immature desktops: Gnome and KDE both seemed far short of finished products to me, they have potential for sure but they're not there yet. Preferences were particularally bad in the KDE I tried, The various control panels were all over hte place! 

I know the shell commands derive from UNIX, but GEEZ!  Why could htey have not been named mroe intuitivly? (Delete, List, Rename, etc)

Drivers: nVidia and ATI supply them but they don't seem mature compared to their Windows versions

Apps: I have some Windows apps I couldn't do without, such as Photoshop and Dreamweaver. They don't run in Linux and probably never will have Linux versions. And no, GIMP is no substitute for Photoshop. 

Games: Um, hello?  There's a couple around, yes, but not nearly enough

But still, keep up the good work, Linus, you'll get there sooner or later , i'm sure, and nobody trusts Microsoft anymore.
