Is Linux user-friendly?

A. Um, well, not really quite yet. The GUI environment (KDE is more user-friendly than GNOME, two of the most common GUI environments) is as user-friendly as Windows. Many of the applications you would use (OpenOffice, Evolution, web browsers, games, etc.) are as user-friendly as Windows. Once you get a bit more complex, the user-friendliness goes away, I’ll be honest about that, and many open source applications do not have the polish of their commercial counterparts. If there is one major area Linux needs to improve, it’s that. And many people are working feverishly on it. Linux will likely never be as user-friendly as the Mac – the Mac will likely remain the user-friendliness champ.
