Linux was created to make running servers, providing bandwidth, and easier ftp access. Linux wasn't made for everyday use.

No... That is incorrect

In 1991, Linus Torvalds began to work on the Linux kernel while he was attending the University of Helsinki.[8] Torvalds originally intended Linux to be a non-commercial replacement for Minix, an educational operating system developed by Andrew S. Tanenbaum.[9] Linux was dependent on the Minix userspace at first.

The GNU Project, with the goal of creating a UNIX-like, POSIX-compatible operating system composed entirely of free software,[10] had begun development in 1984, and a year later Richard Stallman had created the Free Software Foundation and wrote the first draft of the GNU General Public License (GPLv1). By the early 1990s, the project had produced or collected many necessary operating system components, including libraries, compilers, text editors, and a Unix shell, and the upper level could be supplied by the X Window System, but development of the lower level, which consisted of a kernel, device drivers and daemons had stalled and was incomplete.[11]

Code licensed under the GNU GPL can be used in other projects, so long as they too are released under the GPL. In order to make the Linux kernel compatible with the components from the GNU project, Torvalds changed his original license (which prohibited commercial redistribution) to the GPLv2.[12] Linux and GNU developers worked to integrate GNU components with Linux. Thus Linux became a complete, fully functional free operating system.[11]

I don't care. In my opinion, if Linux had more available apps then it would own Windows.

Linux is an open source operating system that can be duel-booted with Windows. It supports all system architectures, amazing support, incredible uptime, and loads more. Some Windows apps can be run under WINE. I keep it duel booted with Windows so I can play games.

Linux is ready for the gaming market, just it dosn't have enough market share. Yet.

I'd rather only have 1 running. Takes up too much RAM to have 2 OS's open...

I do use Wine but sometimes it dosen't work.

You can't run 2 OS's at once... I just keep my harddrive partitioned so I can duelboot them.

Haha yeah - I once tried it with Limewire and it really screwed up.
