Moreover, people who give Linux a trial, they wish for something different.
Says who? I think most people who give Linux a trial, they wish for Windows, but without the all the bullshit.
What I’m afraid of is newbies who get Gnome as the default without knowing any better, without even knowing what a DE is or that there’s more than one. And when they find it weird and difficult to learn, they’re not going to think, “Gnome is weird and difficult to learn, I should try a different DE.” – they’re going to think, “Linux is weird and difficult to learn, I should go back to Windows.”
I think you have to learn, but I don’t think it’s difficult to learn. As I said I find it intuitive. My mum could learn it and she is not techy at all. That’s actually a very good example, because she couldn’t print on Windows and now she can with Linux.
