I love linux and use it every day for working, in my office on my laptop. The passion had begun with slackware back in college (2002) and now I'm using kubuntu.
I get stuff done: libre office, gimp, inkscape, librecad, vlc, firefox, transcode, openshot and etc....
BUT my biggest disappointment is that linux wont play my games, wont play my rented blu-ray movies, wont play netflix and wont run my Canon EOS software. Raw image software on linux cant compete with canon eos.
So even today I have a windows pc on my living room, there is no way around....
Every other OS I've used has had a higher maintenance burden.
I've been using kubunt 12.04 for quite some time now, and I'm really pleased. It's really well polished. Before that, I was using ubuntu (blahrg!) and before that, slackware, but I got tired of compiling everything by myself. Apt-get and Muon are a great step ahead for linux!
One thing that comes to my mind is: I wear glasses. I realized that when trying to focus any image positioned on the glass, my eye just cant do the job. So, how are the google glasses supposed to work?
I used to use slackware since 2002, when I bought a PC for using at home and got pissed of with the pre-installed windows xp. Back then, slackware 9 just worked for me. I got in love with it. But, just like someone else said before, after college, time started to become an issue. Later in 2010 I was introduced to ubuntu and realized there was a new level of the 'just works' experience. Since then I'm using ubuntu. I even like unity, got no problems using it. I use it for everyday work. No more./configure, no more messing around, no more initrd or whatever: I just get my shit done. The system works for me now.
The only flaw it has right nowt that bugs me its that it cannot play blu-ray discs. Well, not the ones I rent from blockbuster. This and games. Thus, at home i'm still stuck with the win7.
1. Playing a Game for Windows Live (GFWL) game on Steam and having the GFWL fail to connect, disconnect midgame, and choke up so often as to make a fun game unfun (Dark Souls...)
6. Online requirements for single player games

You are not alone, fellow gamer. The two item above really give me the nerves!
I wouldn't say that the time travel where the problem with Lost, the main problem with Lost was building up all this backstory with Dharma & Co and then end it all with "oh we crated a faked dream world so that we all could go to heaven together".
this!
introducing religion in the grand finale as the explanation for the whole thing really ruined the show.
I mean, I was really pumped and excited with the time-travels and sci-fi stuff and possibilities then they came up with religion? come on!
Thats because they (the cops) know nobody needs jumping in the smart phones wagon...and if someone decides to do so, can't it choose samsung? camon! u deserve some taser treatment!

Go play Path of Exile - really worths your time. Its a much better game. For me, It succeeds in being the proper successor of Diablo 2 Also, its free!
Well, why not swich your work too to libreoffice? I did. Man, ribbon is a pain!
