2) Have you ever tried running a linux GUI on a low-spec machine? It's quite painful. Low-spec machines = commandline terminals as far as I'm concerned. Windows also usually has a speed advantage in applications (especially launching) due to OS tricks like prefetch which linux doesn't do. |
The computer I use everyday (and that I'm using to post this) has a 1.7ghz Sempron and 512MB of RAM and I run Linux with a GUI just fine.
It is fast and there is no pain at all.
