Linux fails to be a desktop operating

Linux fails to be a desktop operating system because it doesn't try to be one; Linux only tries to be a good general-purpose operating system kernel. However, a GNU/Linux based operating system distribution works well as an operating system. I just wish people would learn the difference between operating system software and computer system software.

2) Visit some qualified free software professional and pay them for support.
3) Invest some time to learn about how to use free software.
