I remember way back when John Carmack had his open letter to microsoft on the merits of opengl. It would be a lot easier for them to port if all games were opengl. The discussion was originally WoW on linux via wine. I'm reposting as the issue of games always comes up and I want to see what people think of this. Ok, I'm getting off topic and I've posted this before, but I guess a tad late and no one noticed. I completely agree that if all you want to do is read simple HTML email and visit non-multimedia web sites, you don't want to listen to music or watch DVDs, you don't have any devices other than a keyboard, mouse and monitor, you only want to input text in one language, and you never need to trade Word documents or Excel spreadsheets with someone who cares what the formatting looks like, then Linux on the desktop is definitely ready for your nontechnical-user needs! The point is that there's more wrong than just games. If I am a nontechnical user it is therefore nigh-irrelevant. It is not in the default repositories on a new system. Yep, I know all about the Microsoft Core Fonts package. The ones that come with all the Linux distros I've tried are clunky, and they vary in size between font families in odd ways that make a lot of Web pages look funny. As a nontechnical user do I care whose fault it is when I want to scan something I could scan when I was running Windows? Nope.

Just try hooking up, say, a Canon scanner (I have one it works fine on my Mac and my Windows boxes, but it's a doorstop when I'm running Linux.) Again, is this the fault of Linux per se? Maybe not.

Not all of them, but hey, you didn't really want to watch that movie preview, did you?

Linux? Well, if you're willing to violate the law, and you happen to know how to configure your system to install packages from nonstandard repositories, you can hack together support for some of the common formats. Bitch all you want about how it's the fault of patents or closed formats from evil companies, the fact of the matter is that you can browse the web on a Windows machine and expect to be able to watch most of the video you come across, and listen to most of the music you come across. (I am not blowing smoke on this - Mark Shuttleworth specifically mentioned lousy Asian input support as one of the reasons he wanted to delay the next Ubuntu release.) Linux, not so much - please edit your X configuration, please do one thing if you're running GNOME and something else if you're running KDE, oh, and by the way, don't expect to be able to enter Chinese characters when you run an app since most of them either don't handle alternate input methods at all or are only compatible with the input system you aren't using. In Windows, getting Chinese input to work on an English install of the OS takes, oh, roughly 90 seconds or so of clicking around in the control panel UI, and once enabled it works perfectly in virtually every common modern desktop application.
My girlfriend is from Taiwan and sends email to her friends back home, but she primarily wants her computer to be English-language. Here's what I spent that week trying to get working: (And I am not a nontechnical user.) She does not play any games on her laptop. I know this firsthand: I tried to replace XP with Ubuntu on my girlfriend's laptop about six months ago and ended up giving up after a week of screwing with it. The areas in which Windows is better than Linux for a nontechnical user are a lot more numerous than just games.
