Only for those who started on the win/OSX box. "Intuitive" and "what you
are used to" for most people are about the same. Someone who has never
used win/OSX but has done all their computing on Linux will find win/OSx
harder. I don't have a Mac to play with, but some of my boxes have come
with windows on them... Windows is to hard to use, easier to wipe it off
and install a Linux. I get frustrated with windows every time I want to do
something, it makes me feel lost.
The easiest learning curve is what you learned first.
Don't misunderstand me, but on this list we are all pretty sure of certain things the win/osx world has never faced with... just think about the whole client/server basics of jack, this step (and many others) is beyond a simple OS installation.
I wiped off win since 2005 but as far as I remember, the cubase+reason+halion approach was quite straightforward for the majority of people I knew, while the first thing I had to face with was a 2.4 kernel compile with a capability.h tweaking, ardour was 0.97 :-)
Back to my point of view about the topic and quoting myself
what really sucks is this overall geek approach of LAD vs end users
linux (at least audio) community should remove this "gap" to let more users in, those ones with less IT skills and interest focused on music.
