Believe me, this is how it works in most of cases.

Very true. Very unfortunate.

No. This is wrong and you know it. But if they complain, say, that there ain't no Start menu, then let them rot away with Windows.
--- Quote --- Detailed instructions don't make something easy. And they don't help you deal with new or strange problems either. They make you dumb. It makes me sick to see all the kids on linuxforums.org who are like "I can't find the install.exe for audacity" and "where can i find a driver for my mouse?". Windows has rotted their brains, and made them incapable of understanding or appreciating Linux.

Ubuntuguide does make the stuff easy. Most people won't bother though. Anyway: UG tells you the exact commands and it takes about five seconds to copy them down into the terminal. It takes a little longer if you try to understand what you actually do.
--- Quote ---What about you GNU/Linux dudes start admitting that GNU/Linux has a lot of problems, starting with non-standardized userland, ABI incompatibilities and the lack of robust installation API?
Admitting these defiencies should not be too hard, I know, I have done it. As a Linux user I know the faults and quirks of our platform, yet I am not ashamed of them.

In essence I agree. GNU/Linux has many, many faults. But I do think the community is more or less aware of this reality (it is quite obvious, I think) and a lot of people are working their asses off, most of these without being paid for it, to make things better.
