Linux is like driving very slowly, admiring all the roadkills. Windows is like waking up at the end of the journey.

OS X and Windows are better for "casual" users as you say On the other hand, only OS X and Linux gives me flexibility for one-liners such as ssh root@xpm24 "./primecoind.2 listtransactions \"\" 20 | grep blocktime | sed -e \"s/.* : //\" -e \"s/,//\" | sort | xargs -n 1 -I '{}' date --date=@'{}'" What I like about Linux: your computer stays yours What I like about OS X: simple, clean & efficient without dumbing down too much (UNIX based) What I like about Windows: any exotic hardware with drivers? Probably Windows only... What I've learnt in 20 years IT: be platform agnostic, just use the best for each of them

I just hate the fact Linux assumes I have all the time in the world. And it doesn't help there's really no tech support. Just try this command, no?, then try this, no?!!....well try entering blah. Linux are for those who literally has no life outside a machine. Bitcoin better worth all this crap. Freaking Satoshi. I was quiet happy with my Windows.

Linux I find much more friendly to me. Windows can be too limiting. However, I use both OS for different purposes.

I thought you wanted to learn something but you only made a thread to whine about a OS you don't need at all; so, yeah I don't care if Linux is not suitable for your needs.

Actually the first bitcoin client was for windows. I've been using GNU/Linux for about 13 years now, it was love at first sight! Nowadays there are very user friendly distributions, and as far as my experience goes, linux systems are much more easy and faster to use than Windows systems. And tech support is quite good: google.com.

Dude!, seriously.
And that's my point right there. Rather than to finish whatever I'm doing then go out and get hammered, I'm stuck figuring out what command does what. Time-management is not a familiar term in Linux.

Yap, it takes a while to get used to it, but it's the same with windows, you need to learn what program does what when you got your first computer.

Didn't know that, thanks. That is not a pure Windows command. He added Linux commands in his system. Grep, sed are not in Windows. http://ss64.com/nt/I love using Linux, it is open source, so there are no backdoor from NSA. Also it is safer to keep your Bitcoin wallet on a Linux system than either OS X or Windows. It is the most secure system in the world. Also there are no malware in Linux. And if you really want to pay for tech support you can pay for it for Linux, too. http://www.ubuntu.com/management.
