Do other people really believe that open source is still command line?

Question

Is Microsoft spreading the lie that open source is command line and you have to be a geek to use it?
Do people not know that good open source software, such as Kubuntu, is easier to use than Windows?

Answer 1

Some open source does use the command line to install it. (but not the good ones) personally, i prefer ubuntu, but I dont understand why people are paying hundreds for programs like microsoft office when open office is better. -and free! People just don't know about it, are scared off by this myth, or think it isnt as good. osalt.com is a great place to look.

I have been a linux user for years and support it to death but

1. getting a printer to work in linux is hell
2. Geting a wirelss network card to work in linux is also hell
3. Getting a USB adsl modem to work in linux is hell with bells and whistles
4. To these or many other things in linux you will have to do command line - not in windows
5. Knowledge of using Linux is not diffused throughout society, many many people have a working knowledge of windows a lot lot less have knowledge of Linux (unlike me)
