Mnogi korisnici su u zabludi kad misle da će samo tako prijeći s Windowsa na Linux i nastaviti raditi na stari način, koristeći stare programe. Članak Linux is Not Windows objašnjava zašto nisu isti i u čemu se razlike. Ako vam se ne da čitati evo samo zaključka: If the answer is "I want a replacement for Windows without the problems": Buy an Apple Mac. I've heard wonderful things about the Tiger release of OS X, and they've got some lovely-looking hardware. It'll cost you a new computer, but it'll get you what you want..
