Here's the thing.. first off I work in the computer repair business I know lots about it.. but let's skip that fact and move on to another more pointed argument.. this is a LOA forum.. so I'm going to talk about LOA.. if you believe like me that you create your own reality.. then you'll figure out that all these problems you have with a computer are mostly projections of "thoughts create reality"
My point is there is no random crash.. there is no motherboard that just burns out.. there is no BSOD without human thought.. all of it is created in the now.. my job creates said "problems" 
So with that understanding said argument becomes no longer a argument  tomtyi I don't know you but.. I bet if you’re trying to force your experiments on operating systems on other people "common users" you’re not having much success and maybe even have to be there 24/7 tech support guy.. if linux gives you love passion and joy keep doing it.. but if you find yourself annoyed then you should stop  |
I never wrote I had crashes on Window$! on the contrary: I use my mother-in-law's pc for 6 years and there were only one crash after that had to reinstall the XP. We do not use cracked progs nor wareztorrent and so on.
And you are right: there is no random crash, and so.
I am a common user, no special experiencies. It was 7-8 years before I heard about Linux and I liked the system of it - or at least I thought about that system.
Finally I met with Linux just 1,5 year before when I first install any Linux on my first notebook. I had no preconceptions, no expectations. And I was shocked how SIMPLE was the install, how simple and fast was the update via dsl, and how simple to use this system. that's all.
Closing for me:
The original question was: Do any normal people use linux?
My answer: Yes, a lot.
