I’m curious as to what everyone’s reasons are! The Linux desktop has came quite a far ways in the last few years and is improving every day. I’d say for most people, Linux could easily replace Windows as their daily driver nowadays.

    This is one of the areas I think *NIX blows Windows out of the water. The Windows file system hierarchy is a complete disaster and probably one of the worst things about Windows. Programs just throw their junk wherever they feel like and it makes finding things like config files an absolute nightmare. Is it in %APPDATA%? Nope. Is it in Program Data? also nope. Is it in the Program Files? why is it in the Program Files?!

      I don’t like programs spreading their files everywhere. But I very rarely have to deal with that. Because I am not an OS nerd. I just look for it in forums when needs be. What frustrates me in windows is apps leaving breadcrumbs all over the registry after an uninstall.
