Its hard to take powerful tools intended for those who want and need to learn them, and adapt them for those who don't. The desktop environments have been doing a remarkable job, but when it comes to administration you still need to have some basic understanding - which most people are not willing to put effort into, which is understandable.

The real value is in the freedom you get from using free software, and the power that comes with having serious well documented tools.

@Ormaaj

i completely agree with you

@Ormaaj When people see my setup, it scares them. I like scaring them, because there are already too many dangerous drivers on the highway who should not be allowed to drive. The same is true for PCs. Morons should be given shovels, they are welcome to them. Or Macs. Macs are okay for morons too, because Macs are made for the Everyman. What Microsoft has done by it's parasite insertion into the PC world is a crime. Sheeple, you do not have to stay a moron, you could change, if you wanted.

not my old ati driver.ati amd does not support my chipset anymore for linux.

2008, we're now in 2010 and you can get drivers for almost everything for the most popular linux distros, but let's face it, humans are lazy, and if they give you everything made and take that need of thinking the how to away for money you'd pay... that's why nobody cares into compiling or even searching for a driver or a library and use windows instead :/

@MDxm3000

The lockups in windows have hardly anything to do with the drivers, the windows Kernel is junk, that's it.Linux has much worse drivers and it won't stall your pc.

[DrkRevan]

don't fuck with stuff you can't comprehend man...

[MDxm3000]

propriety drivers suck, they should all be open-source. Look at windows, if a driver is faulty the system will lock up or blue-sceen. If it was open-source someone with the technical know how could patch that driver and make it work.

"Video editors suck" : Just because you lack the creativity to edit videos properly and not make them look like crap (Did you edit this video with oven mitts on? Be honest. [downvoted]) and seem to have the "do it for me" mentality of a lot of Windows users I've had contact with, why do you claim that all Linux video studio programs suck? Why do you not instead look at your own ignorance, coupled with your apparent unwillingness to learn?
