What's the point of this so-called "freedom" of GNU/Linux when every single free alternative to paid Win/Mac programs (most of which you can easily pirate) is far worse?
Microsoft Office will always be faster, better looking, and more user-friendly than OpenOffice; if you think otherwise, you're delusional.
There's not a single respected graphic designer who uses GIMP. What takes an hour to do on GIMP takes around half the time on Photoshop, with much less frustation, giving you more focus on creativity and the artistic direction you're aiming after.
As for video editing, hmmm, where do I start? No Sony Vegas. No Adobe After Effects. I think you get my point.
Want to produce music using linux? Well, good luck with LMMS and Audicity! Completely professional programs that every successful producer/musician uses! Who even needs Pro Tools, Ableton, Cubase, or even Garageband, amirite!
As for gaming, well, at least there's Tux Racer and emulators.
>muh programming
Yes, one could argue that programming is better on Linux, but still, you have all resources you need on every other OS.
>muh botnet
Unless you're ISIS or have kiddie porn on your hard drive, who gives a shit? Just use adblock.

This fagget doesn't know about libreoffice. Knowledge is to out of date to have any weight behind his statements. Dropped.

I gave up on GNU and Linux years ago for just this reason. No use fighting with GIMP when Photoshop and Lightroom do what I need much faster.

Except it is illegal tho. Not to mention some peeps are paranoid that cracks also install other shit. Feels good to be free of programs not checking activation all the time. Feels good to "own" your own shit. If you were given the choice of photoshop crack or legit key, who the fuck would want cracked?

The point is most people are not professionally required to run all these things.
I want free software to be the norm and then you can elect to give up freedoms in exchange for something else.
If you have no freedom to begin with, everything you do to ensure freedom will be viewed as an aggression towards your masters.
Why would you install a document viewer that doesn't report home information about the document? Do you have something to hide?
Where if you start with freedom, you say why should I share information about the document I am viewing? That is a bad design.
Developers should use tools, languages and libraries that is platform agnostic so the user can decide how to run the software.
