at least all the common windows annoyances are discussed and well
listed. so they pop up on google when you run into one.

I remember trying Linux with the Gnome GUI. Periodically('cos of
something or other that i was unknowingly doing with the mouse) the
desktop with all the open windows, would slide to the side of the
screen into a thin bar.
Apparently KDE is better. But i'm more afraid of trying the linux GUI
than I ever was of Windows.

I put off installing win xp for years. I installed it and realised my
fears were well placed. took me a month to get all the annoyances
sorted out. But at least the annoyances pop up when you google them.
People actually moan about them, ask about them, post the solutions
over and over in newsgroups.

With Linux GUIs, nobody wants to talk about them or admit they exist.


I'm guessing i'm not the only person that found this. Infact, I'm
guessing that the problem is so prevalent, that you yourself ran
windows, tried linux, and returned to windows!
