In the Linux land 99% of the applications are open source. It is part of the nature of the GNU/Linux community ecosystem to endorse open software. But there are a few applications that are not open and as they fill up a niche, they are pretty popular. Come in and vote for your favorite.

Actually, the nvidia drivers cause my laptop to freeze 2-3 times per day. Since I switched back to the nv drivers it's been solid as a rock. Yeah, glxgears and some of the screensavers play slower now, but they both work fine at 1600x1050 and I reboot for games anyway.

I wouldn't say eye candy is all important for me, but in my experience the nvidia drivers are more reliable than the nv drivers and give me my favorite resolution of 1280*1024 which the nv drivers did not support, that's mainly why I use them. I don't really play games either (at least not under linux), but still the nvidia drivers are just about the first thing I install when (re-)installing a linux distro
