Limitations of  Linux.

No doubt, Linux is an excellent alternative of  Microsoft Windows in terms of  Desktop or Server based operating system. But it has also some limitations like every one have. It is highlighted that Linux is free of cost if you download it from the iso-image of  various distributions, or one time investment if you purchase it from the Linux vendors, it is true, but not up to a great extent. The truth is that Linux is not every time free. It is more costly when it is used for the small business, because there is no use of  more open source software in their business. They need some extra software that are not  included in Linux package. For updating and maintenance, it also require some charges. 

Another disadvantage is that Linux has more then three hundred version and all version can not be installed in a single computer system.

Installation is one of the biggest problem in Linux. For installing a distribution of  Linux , it needs a different type of installing criteria, which becomes the reason of problems. Desktop/ ThinkPad / Macintosh all sorts of computer have their own different installing Linux  procedures. Each distribution has its own installation programming, which is extremely hard to learn for every version. Proper tutorial materials are also not  available for each and  every distribution. 

Different sorts of  processor also have different types of  installation process. It is also difficult to learn all of them. Many times it creates problem in installing in a single attempt.

Many Linux user complains that Linux does not support some software in deep. This create the problem. Some times Linux creates technical problems with Microsoft's Commerce Server products as the user complains.

None is perfect in this world, at last we can say there are more chance to improve Linux Desktop/ Server Operating System, if all the distributors shake hand all together. Then it will be cheaper too.
