As per my experience Linux has now become quite user friendly since its version 7. I like working on Linux... on it's shell... its more stable than Windows!

I too believe Linux is more user friendlier now. I am using suse Linux and rarely i had to use command line. I have many times felt that if i was still using windows i would have missed many cool feature thats available in KDE desktop and did you notice that many features thats coming up in Vista is already available in KDE and Gnome?

I would have to check out new version but I know though linux is more stable but Its so much command based that its hard for normal users but good for programmers though.

Now i think Linux is not that much user friendly as that of windows...Linux is needed to be more user friendly than the previous versions.... Now i prefer windows as the best operating system...

Linux to me is as straightforward and user-friendly as any operating system can get. I use the lastest version of ArchLinux ( http://archlinux.org/ ), which is optimized for i686 (fasttt!), and I love it.

Linux is definitely user friendly but the thing is that it is not as friendly as Windows.So someone when switches from Windows to Linux,he found it to be a bit difficult.

Hi techieanuj. I have never used Linux on my own computer. But I have been told that with Linux your computer is safer than when you use windows and also it has more free add-ons. So I was considering to switch to that and I asked a friend of mine who has it on her computer to show me. Well if you want my honest opinion I didn't find it user friendly at all and I prefer Windows. I would love to use Linux because of all the advantages it has over windows but I think it is a little complicated to me.
