Default Re: Why Linux cannot replace Windows?

Quote:
Fedora you typically have to start terminal, then change to root (unless you've already set up your account as having root privileges, which takes another dozen steps) then type in an obscure command referencing the file and quite often more files available off the internet. Then a large amount of cryptic information appears which if you're not quite good with linux commands are absolutely useless if the prog fails to install properly, as can quite often be caused by something so simple as a typo.
That's an overstatement to an outrageous degree. If you have yum or apt, you can just get a program, no mess involved, and it's far cleaner than any Windows Installer package because it removes cleanly.
