Restricted, but awesome
I’ve made fun of Windows on more than one occasion. People kinda expect that, it’s no big deal. Making fun of Linux and Linux users, however, is a little less expected.
I really like do like Linux though; but I just prefer something simple like Windows, where I know both Photoshop, games and whatnot will work. And sometimes I get the sense that Linux fanboys can be a bit smug, like they’re awesome just because they use Linux. Guess Mac users are even worse in that aspect though… 
(Heh, I’m probably pissing off a lot of people now).
EDIT: Due to a swamped weekend, there’ll be no new strip this Monday (23th). We’ll be back Friday

I’m guessing you’ve just installed Linux?

Nah, Pierre. That would be to much hassel for me, getting dual boot or wine or whatever to work and so forth and so on. ^^’ Plus, I’m not Leslie.

Having gone to college with several people who touted the awesomeness of Linux I LOVE this strip!
Guy: Dude, Windows sucks, Mac sucks, you should get Linux.
Me: But I need all these programs that can’t be installed on Linux.
Guy: But…but Linux is better…
Me: How is it better when you can’t use it for anything practical?
Guy:…you can…there’s…psh..you’re not a computer guy, you just don’t know. HU-RUMPH! *Monocle pops off*

Hahahaha!
God… “Monocle pops off”… trying to picture a linux user with a monocle makes me laugh.

But on your case that certain programs doesn’t run on linux- I got one word for you: VirtualBox. Just installed Windows XP on my virtual HDD and both Photoshop CS3 and my games run perfectly. AND i can have both Ubuntu and Windows on at the same time. It’s like having to computers in one!
FYI: You can also use it in reverse, have windows and a virtual HDD with linux on it. PM me if you want more details

VirtualBox eh…? Not sure I quite get it, but it sounds great. But you can’t possibly get the same frame rate while playing, that you’d get with using only XP, would you?
If I ever by MY OWN computer, I might just try out running linux and windows simultaneouly. And if I do, I’ll be sure to talk to you first, Shinji. ^^
