Well; after exclusivity using Windows for the past two years, I have decided to go back to Linux land for awhile and try out Kubuntu. I’ve used Linux on and off now for almost as long as I can remember (since Mandrake 6 or 7 I think, which Wikipedia tells me were around 2000), I had Fedora (up to version 4 or 5) as my primary OS for quite awhile before moving to Gentoo for probably a year, which was by far the best Linux OS I had used up until now.
I had honestly, never expected Linux to ever be ready for the desktop, yet maybe now after almost two decades I think it nearly is. After using Kubuntu for two days, I’m very impressed at how far it has come. Setup was a snap, KDE looks pretty (I used to only use GNOME), it feels solid and everything is nicely abstracted away from the command line, though obviously, all the flexibility and control which Linux provides is still available under the surface. I’m a geek and as such I don’t mind getting my hands dirty compiling sources, screwing with grub or rolling my own kernel, but sometimes it’s nice for things to just work without any hassle, especially when you have other things to focus on.
All it needs now is for Microsoft itself to port .NET to Linux and not Novell 
*ducks*
