I’m writing a new article at the moment called "Why Linux is the way it is". It’s more like a FAQ - taking complaints about Linux and explaining why things in Linux are different to in other operating systems.
Once it’s got a bit of breadth, I’ll release it and then we’ll all be able to point newbies toward it whenever they complain.
It will cover things like:
Why don’t program developers just use .debs for installing?
Why do I have to put in my password to install programs (and how can I turn this off)?
Why won’t Linux play my DVDs out-of-the-box?
etc.
