The recipe for a happy Linux user
I was cooking lunch when I thought about what makes a Linux user a happy one. I think I might only be speaking for desktop users who are not much into doing admin tasks on their machines.
- a good user interface
- hardware compatibility
- applications that work
- good technical support
- a solid group of users which you could talk with when you need to
Then again I suppose this is for everyone and for every OS there is. But for the people I know who stick with using Linux, those are important things.
The good user interface is something that I see Linux application developers are working on. I have been happy with most of the improvements I see from time to time. I hope that things will be this consistent. :) For one, the desktop environments KDE and GNOME are improving with each release and it’s an exciting thing for me to see.
What makes you a happy Linux user?

Good wireless support. That is all. :)
Seriously, the hardware support and ease of updating is what would bring me to using Linux full time.
