I've used several builds of Linux for different periods of time over the last couple of years. While I like the idea of Linux and have fun tinkering with the settings, there is one glaring fault that has turned me off from it.

I use a dual monitor setup and often like tinkering with my video settings and updating my video drivers. No matter the program to streamline driver updates and what not, inevitably at some point I will do something that Linux doesn't agree with.

In Windows I see making a mistake as a learning process that I can fix. In Linux I see this as losing my entire friggin' GUI and left with the terminal unable to even google things to get help fixing my problem meaning I have to reformat.

Until they can fix that, I won't be a full-time linux user. Sure every now and then I'll go back when I read about a big update. But everytime it's the same problem.
