When something's available under Applications->Add/Remove..., installation is far and far easier than it is on Windows. True, sometimes an application is not, and that sucks, but that falls under "software availability" (just like games not being available) and has nothing to do with ease of installation. The problem with alsa mixer is not a problem with Ubuntu but with the people. You probably can also do it graphically (I don't use Ubuntu myself) but tutorials on the internet mostly tell you to use commands. Still, it's a problem indeed. I don't see why you'd want Ubuntu to use other shortcut keys though. Being able to use Ctrl+C to copy stuff really isn't a showstopper for me, it just makes it easier. Sure, there might be some more innovation, but there also already is a lot of innovation and it's certainly not the same as Windows. And changing shortcut keys is very odd anyway. Also, why would you delete files you don't know? You can delete essential files on Windows too. On Ubuntu, though, you get a warning when entering your password that you get to the area where you *can* damage stuff. That should be enough to prevent you from deleting stuff you don't know.

I have had similar experiences. Ubuntu is great but it does require lots of time and effort. Windows installers make things a lot easier when installing hardware drivers. I still like Linux but there are things on Windows that are just easier. Nice post. I have had similar experiences. Ubuntu is great but it does require lots of time and effort.
