One of the first I made, Angrites captured my attention and led to more work with meteorite thin sections.

I once did a show where I had a friend dressed up like a zombie mummy princess. She wandered through the audience moaning "knickers...knickers..." until the scoundrels who stole them gave them back!
Sadly, they must now go to the tip. Don't tell any zombie mummy princesses where I now live!

If you're going to push the Linux Cheerleader line, it's useless to anyone thats not a High end tech user. The rest of us are not engineers, and my programming days were back when Cobol, Fortran and Dartmouth Basic were the options available for languages. Too old to learn a new op system or language just as I'm too old to learn Korean or Finnish.

in reply to Joseph Teller • • •Just a minute Joseph. Most people use a browser, an e-mail client and an office suite. That's it. Nothing more. For them, you can literally throw windows out of your computer right now. This isn't the '80s where you had to spend weeks to install and configure the system. Stick in a live CD/DVD or flash drive and do it, no experience necessary. Most people won't event be able to tell the difference of the OS underneath, and nor should they need to.
Some others will want to edit photos, audio and so on and here the difference starts to make a difference. There are real alternative available and, OK, they may look and feel dffierent and so you will have to get used to that.
The more esoteric the need, the more work you'll have to do but for the vast majority of users, it is a matter of inertia and vendor lock-in.

in reply to Joseph Teller • • •@Khurram Wadee I assure you that I, my wife, and most of the people my wife works with and our general circle of people we are acquaintances locally do not fit your mental picture of "typical" users.
"An office suite" does not cut it if it's not the one companies want. Most want Microsoft Office, not Libre or Google Docs. (I use word Perfect suite , which is also what anyone that works in the Legal Profession uses, but I'm the odd ball out in that regards).
Anyone who is a Gamer that uses computer games quickly discovers that Linux does not cover a lot of games, including popular ones like everything that Blizzard Entertainment sells. There are complex work arounds for Linux but really not going to get the full performance and may be very glitchy from what I have heard from folks that have tried to do so. 3.33 Billion People in the world are Gamers on computers of one sort of another.

That's half the Planet. MMORPGs online are a $55 Billion Dollar market globally that is on the rise according to all reports.
And LOT of other specialized software that folks use do not run under Linux and the available 'replacements' are still clumsy to use and not compatible. Example GIMP is not Photoshop in ease of use for people that do digital photos... accounting software, most of it won't run under Linux flavors (and the fact that there are flavors are also an issue). Now you could go out and get Oracle Linux to be able to Run Oracle apps associated with accounting, but the Support contract to cover the "Free" operating system runs around $600.
Tons of other software that does not fit your "basics" idea used by lots of people.
I think you have a limited view of the world about what the average person is using.
