Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu We reported earlier on a blog post entitled "Ubuntu Report Card (2009)" where the author detailed how they felt the Ubuntu experience had improved over the years. In a follow-up series of articles looking at the future, Tanner Helland has written 10 different broadly-scoped feature requests that [he] 'and many others would like to see by the time Ubuntu 10.10 rolls around'.

Linux is free...need we say more!

I for one am not going to bitch too much about a powerful, easy to use UNIX-like OS that's free! I have been using Linux for many years now and while it's not perfect, it's also NOT Microsoft (which is its biggest selling point as far as I'm concerned.) Microsoft needs to realize that there is a certain faction of computer users who refuse to put up with its crap! That's we Linux users. I have no doubt that sound and video will eventually be straightened out on the Linux platform. Further, Windows apps run in Linux will become easier to use and more true to form in WINE. Finally, DEs like Gnome and KDE will become polished and feature-rich to the point that Windows and Mac users will wonder how we, in the FOSS community, do it all for free!! In the meantime, I'm enjoying Linux and FOSS and am grateful for the vast community that supports this fantastic software for absolutely free! Thanks!
