And it comes at a price: use an ATi graphics card? Congrats, you're fucked in regards to drivers. Hardware X or Y doesn't work out of the box? Have fun browsing Google for possibly hours. WINE doesn't support that one application that you really need? Better have a good enough computer to virtualize Windows in a VM!
That's why you can dual boot and that's why I said anyone but hardcore gamers.
I think there is a program that lets you play games that aren't supported though. (Not wine)
It might only be for steam though. Not entirely sure.
Bullshit. And really, the last 3 times I've updated my desktop computer running Fedora, its wanted me to reboot (and no, those were not kernel updates either).
I've used several Debian and Ubuntu based distros and haven't had any problems with any of my drivers except for once and I got it fixed in a few minutes. (Speakers weren't being detected.)
Isn't Fedora a custom distro? (Meaning it's not based on an existing distro.)
I have windows 7 and linux.Stop drinking the Kool-Aid. Windows 7 is an excellent desktop operating system for anybody.
Not going to reboot to take a screen. (Took this 2 days ago to post in a different thread on a different forum.)
These are pretty biased, but most of them are true.

http://www.infoworld.com/d/networking/windows-versus-linux-server-face-262What? When did I ever doubt the superiority of Linux as a server platform?
You didn't, but I am just trying to say that it is better for servers.
Especially since there are special distros made just for hosting.
