"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".

> though it isn't missing at all you just don't want to use kde apps.
No, I use the ones that I need to use (as I said, K3B and KOffice). But, KBear is just... unbearable. I mean, look at it! Plus, it hasn't been updated over a year, I don't even think it compiles cleanly with the new compilers/KDE/Qt.
As for the mplayer plugin, I have the latest version and either:
1. The Quicktime trailers at apple.com will work, but without sound (Totem can play them with sound btw)
2. In some older trailers, like SW II, mplayer plugin would crash. Maybe it ain't so for you, but that's how it is for me.
3. I can't play most new video clips from windowsmedia.com while launch.yahoo.com doesn't let me play them either!
As you can see, my experience has been less than great with these two specific points.
