Linux Dev's

For example: I cannot copy folder from my home dir to some system dir. It juist says I don't have privileges.

Just run the file manager with sudo. Probably "gksudo nautilus".

So why doesn't it popup a message box that asks for my password?...

Probably a philosophical design decision on the part of the Gnome developers.

So to make things short: It ook me 3 min to find out how to copy a dir to an other dir in total (not copying). So I would say Gnome suck. Big-time.

Some things suck, but not Gnome. I use xmonad. Tiling window managers rule!

I still want to give KDE a try again. But for the moment I'll stay at windows.

Anyway thanks for the tips

You could always download a virtual linux distro and put it inside a VMWare player using windows as a host like I have done with Ubuntu in the past

Ubuntu also have an option to install on your Windows drive and run it from there, but I prefer to give Linux it's own partition to run on... It gives better performance.

Ubuntu also gives you the option of setting up a dual boot system too, no?

[cragwolf]

Any flavour of Linux allows you to dual-boot with Windows. Some distributions just make it easier for you.

[NecroDOME]

Thats also a drawback from windows: they only allow dual-boot with other versions of windows.
