First off let me say that as a normal home user I love Linux. HOWEVER, some things either just plain won't work or are WAY to much trouble get working. WiFi - I have an Atheros card for my laptop. Madwifi works most of the time. BUT, every time I turn on the computer I have to fart around for 30/45 minutes to get the darned thing to connect. TV cards - Lets just say it's way more trouble that it's worth. A Television set is WAY easier. DVD Playback [ Multimedia ] - Actually works without to much trouble, most of the time. BUT a DVD player is cheap and loads easier. Video cards - besides WiFi cards this has to be one of the worst features. I see more problem e-mails for those two than just about anything else Average Joe User is going to use. Someone, aon an offshoot of this thread, that if your having trouble with Nvidia don't buy Nvidia. WELL, sometimes that isn't an option that's available. Not everyone is on an unlimited budget and can buy just THE perfect computer. [ I have an ATI and it works just fine for my use without any problem ] OK, I know these are, for the most part, things that nothing can be done about. BUT, the question was asked why more people don't use Linux. There's part of the reason Average Joe User doesn't use Linux. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
