Linux "Desktop Linux is almost soup. We only have a few items left on the short list. Will we do it? If history is an indicator, the answer is yes." Read this article at LXer. Read more for a short list of my personal needs before I could say "yes, I can switch to Linux or FreeBSD full time".

> Those cannot be included in any distribution or free software, because THEY AREN'T FREE

Who said ANYTHING about "included in distros"? I just said that they DON'T WORK as expected with all the videos out there.

>As for bluetooth, it was way more simple than on Windows

Huh???

>As for sharing, well this is a firewall setting and I don't think it should be available in user mode.

You obviously don't have a clue what you are talking about.

>Most of the times when API breaks, there's a really good reason behind it.

I disagree. The user should be among everyone else. Keeping compatibility is a good "business" decision. Yes, there should be some few times where things would break, but if it happens all that often, then something is really wrong with the whole thing.

>How do you dispose software for being ughly (cinelerra)??? Is software less functional then???

Yes, I can't STAND looking at it. It doesn't function to me as it should do if it looks the way it is.
