Linux is perfect OS,but it is not for a new user especially with the presence of windows.
Many years ago linux was hard to install successfully on any machine, it is not so easy to install the OS and go on, after many years of development it become so easy. Now you can install liunx easily in short time almost on any machine.

That was the problem – the long time – this come from the huge number of distributions, thousands may be millions of developers works behind linux but their effort discarded on the huge number of distributions. If the developers aims to a smaller set of distributions the results will be great in a shorter time and to support only a dozen of distributions is only a dream.

if this point of view come true windows will disappear !!
