"recompiling the source, the segfaults,". I've never seen Linux segfault, and I've been using it since 0.92, so I just don't know where you get that from. Also "recompiling the source". No distro including the first one I used (TAMU Linux) required that.
Many people are using Linux not only on the desktop, but their router runs it, their mobile phone runs it, their EEE PC runs it.
And guess what, no need for a green screen, it just works.
If you don't like Linux, it isn't the only game in town. Reactos.org a free win32 operating system is coming on very well now.
It'll be interesting to see where that one goes.
