I am jealous of your neat page layout. Both of us are Debian aficionados, but you are obviously more zealous. The degree of convenience is mostly subjective, and as you have correctly hinted, a sense of convenience under Windows can be deceptive. But Linux does not fare so well when it comes to localization, and you'll know what I mean when you compare the input method programs for Chinese under Linux and Windows. Linux is steadily moving toward becoming a fully fledged Desktop system, but that has not happened yet. Hi machiner,

Is where I must disagree. I understand that Windows provides a desktop and a level of convenience, however, in real usage, many find that Debian is the "OS" that actually provides the most convenient desktop. Of course, we could argue what defines "convenient", but, lol, I'm completely not interested in that. rock on. Where you write:
