I run Linux because it _easier_. Then again, I came from UNIX and not Windows. I do training and step #1 is to "de-program" people from how they think computers work, because it's only how Windows works.
I came from VAX/VMS and OS/2. I couldn't believe how bad DOS and then Windows were. Even though I supported VAX computers for several years, I can recall only one crash. It was quite interesting, when the system came up again, to watch all the characters I typed, including corrections, being replayed, as the OS brought me back to where I was, prior to the crash. I had been working in a text editor. Like Linux, OS/2 rarely crashed.
