Ugh, I shouldn't do this, but here it goes.
Again, if you don't like Linux, then don't use it.
- How so? It is stupendous for me and most people that I see around here.
- Then use Office with Wine.
- Rhythmbox, Amarok, Banshee, just to name a few
- Adobe won't port Photoshop and Dreamweaver to Linux. Use them with Wine instead.
- Again, companys aren't planning on porting their games to Linux yet. Can't do anything about it.
- Buttons and things? Could you be more specific?
- Check the Ubuntu help site. help.ubuntu.com
- If you don't want to use the command line, then usually you don't have to.

Never run any command unless you understand exactly what it will do. [link]
I was always lucky with hardware support
I don't care about commercial software - I wouldn't use it anyway
(but please stop answering "use it with wine", I was never able to run anything with it)
I don't want MS Office, and I have no use for Openoffice either: LaTeX is grate.
I'm not scared about the command line.
I don't mind downloading multimedia codecs separately
What really pisses me off are a lot of little annoying bugs spread here and there. Some examples:
having to run dpkg-reconfigure to make an external monitor working (hopefully getting better with Gutsy)
vedeo playback usually not working in beryl
realplayer excluding all other applications from using the soundcard
not being able to connect on about 10% of wireless networks for no apparent reason
Network manager overwriting the DNS servers of my ISP with its wrong defaults
not being able to chose what plugging to use in Firefox
firefox'x plugin installer never finding plugins, even when they exist
random freezes - yes, it freezes, not a lot, but more than it should.
