Actually, it did. You see, I have this thing called <i>apt-get</i>. Installation of programs <i>just works</i>. 2 years ago, my Debian box was a pain in the ass to set up. Since then, though, I've had zero problems because of apt-get. Also, Quake 3 comes with it's own gui installer.
Really, Windows is just a big pain in the ass. If you have problem in Windows, good fucking luck fixing it. It's always a big mystery, and I hate playing Sherlock Holmes. I've never found a problem in Linux that I couldn't find the solution to.
Really, both OS's will give you problems occasionally. It's the nature of computers. But whenever I try to solve a problem under Windows, I feel like the OS is sending me a constant message, that being, "YOU ARE STUPID". I don't like OS's that treat me like a moron. It lowers my self-esteem.
Linux repects me. It shows me exactly what the problem is, even if it knows I won't understand the bug report. Linux knows that I can submit the bug data to a smarter person on irc or usenet, even if I don't understand it myself. Linux does not treat me like a fucking idiot.
Of course, i'm a programmer. So this is my biased opinion. I usually do understand Linux's error codes. People who don't want to know how computers work should probably use a simpler OS. It's a personal choice.
