OK, so you know how I've been boasting Linux and all that, well here is what I don't like about Linux.

1) Ubuntu has very touchy graphics drivers. I had to wait until 8.04 for it to work on this computer.

2) I've been working for months on using VNC from outside the network.

3) Under the last post, Linux is very complicated.

4) I still haven't completely figured out 'uncomplicated firewall' (ufw)

5) Sometimes binaries won't compile

6) packages sometimes go missing and therefore you get to have a wild guess which one you need.

7) Sometimes it looses connection to my wireless network, but both computers do that, even this one when it is booted into Windows

8) Not a lot of people use it (if you call 30 million not a lot) and therefore it isn't all that widely supported.

9) there's about a thousand of the damn things

10) it's complicated

11) did I mention it's complicated

12) I still can't run iTunes on it

13) Wine's support for VisualStyles sucks worse than it's support for Windows applications

14) I'm in the terminal every day.

15) Browsers go awry a lot and I end up with Firefox, Flock, Navigator, Seamonkey, Galeon, Epiphany, Midori, Konqueror, Opera and God only knows what else trying to fix that.

16) On some of my computers the graphics aren't all that good so it can't totally whoop Vista's a** with Compiz Fusion

17) Not a lot of Linux games exist, and the only one I find at least half-way impressive is OpenArena

18) My Linux 2.6.27-something kernel didn't compile right. Anyone know how to uninstall it?

19) Transparant gnome-panels typically don't work well with dark wallpapers.

20) it won't listen to my gtkrc-2.0 file, so I can't turn the text white

21) the orange theme sucks

22) Ubuntu's natural bootscreen was boring, so now it looks like a Mac or something

23) No-one really wants to make a super kick-ass theme for Linux that doesn't in any way resemble Vista or Mac OS X

24) I'm tired of typing.
