What went wrong with Linux on the Desktop
Tuxman:
You failed, sir.

Just to put in my two cents worth. I have a small computer repair business and consider myself as pretty well qualified in Windows. Toyed very slightly with various Linux distros over past 10 years and didn't care for any. However, about 5 months ago, I d/l and played with a Live cd of Linux13-MATE. I liked it so much that I am now dual booting it on all my machines, and tend to use it 95% of the time. IMHO it has Windows all beat. Incidentally, I turned 78 today. I highly recommend Linux Mint, any version.

I know a bit about Linux and I'm glad Mint is working out so well for you. That's pretty much the outcome I've seen with virtually everybody I recommended it to who gave it a genuine try.
Seriously, I still can't see why so many people think Linux is such a big deal. It's very Windows-like. And most of the hassles that used to go with using it are now ancient history.

If you are doing it wrong, it is. And most people do it wrong.
