Maybe because it does not work or do anything useful. Those could be two
factors.
But it is free.
It cannot print because it will jet squirt all of the ink out of your
printer ink tanks on the first page. It cannot do Microsoft Office. It
cannot do Adobe or Flash. It cannot do Youtube or Twitter or anything else
popular.
Linux is just a retarded sort of a web browser but if you click on something
it will not go through.

Windows 7 is not free at all. You are supposed to pay your tribute to
Microsoft.
But the Linux GNU Open Source Software is free to use and free of security
threats.
So there is a lot to say for Linux Open Source beyond the obvious.
I think that if more people ran Linux is would have a higher percentage
share.
I tried to run Linux about six times but I was not smart enough or not
patient enough about memorizing things. But that is just me. Other people
than me may get a much better result.

What is the hard part in clicking on buttons or moving a pointer?
Don’t tell me that you tried to do everything through the CLI without
any prior experience?

Yes, those with a room temperature IQ generally fair quite well.

Well, my IQ must be a real low measure. I tried it lots of times but I
never could get it to do anything entertaining or useful.
Microsoft is the real deal when it comes to personal computer stuff.

comment.

I tried lots of things over the years. There were tarballs at one point and
RPM at one point and I do not even want to think about how they do things
now. I have read some good things about this Ubuntu so I may try that on my
backup computer in the dual boot setup. Maybe the fourteenth time will be a
charm. Success is built upon a mountain of failures.

So you never tried PackageKit or YUM? Now I get why you failed.

I have never even heard of either of those. I forget which was the last
distro of Linux I installed. It was about three or four years ago. It had
some catchy name and a pleasant blue and white desktop theme but I cannot
recall the name. But when I get bored a use something called KillDisc and
write the hard drive to zeros once in a while and I lost it. Now I am
going to try Ubuntu and see what happens. They have this neato email and
usenet reader called Godzilla or something like that which is really slick.
I do miss that. The bugaboo last time was that I could not get any wireless
card I owned to work. I look up the workaround on the Al Gore Internet and
the instructions were like three pages long and involved all of this
terminal and command line interface junk. Forget that.

It RickBobby's case, no -- YUM and PackageKit don't come with Windows.

Now, now, "RickyBobby" is doing the best he can considering his
