I'm always amazed at the hoops some home owners will go through in a vain attempt to renovate an existing bathroom in their house, rather than just burning their house down and building a new one from scratch. It's gotta be Stockholm syndrome or something.

Despite it being literally the biggest barrier brought up anytime someone suggests people should switch to Linux, it's like you guys just can't seem to get it through your head that literally 99.9% of PC users lack the technical knowledge needed to make the switch and find the amount of time and effort needed to learn how intimidating to the point that, yes, those "hoops" you mention are actually the easier option.

Call me crazy, but I get the sense that the same 0.1% of Windows users who jump through arcane command-line hoops to work around their anti-consumer OS would do just fine with Linux's pro-user arcane command-line hoops.
