Here's why Linux is easier than Windows:
Package Managers! Apt-Get and Portage (among others) allow users to install programs MUCH easier than Windows can.
Hardware Drivers. In SuSE, ALL the hardware is detected and installed automatically! How is this harder than Windows' constant disc changing and rebooting?

Haha. Hence the inherent problems that crop up in a world full of acronyms.

While we're on the subject of confusingly similar acronyms, I remember talking to an older fellow in my office about my video game system (a Playstation 2, referred to as a PS2) and getting odd looks. Turns out he heard PS2 and thought I meant an IBM PS/2 computer (circa the early 1990s?). Yep, those old behemoths could play Gran Turismo like nobody's business.

The humour would not have gone amiss... It would be a really geeky joke for Sony to have put PS/2 mouse and keyboard sockets on the PS2. Originally Posted by d38dm8nw81k1ng Linux user #126863 - see http://linuxcounter.net/

Uhh... could someone enlighten me a bit? I'm confused. Doesn't DRM = Direct Rendering Manager? Why is everyone like lfdjasfl;dsajfljsfjasdf and stuff?
