I love how both MacOS and Windows users are reaching a point of no return.
Last week I finally decided to jump to Linux. While I realize that I have a few nits and annoying bugs I run in to, its hard to say if linux has any more than the mainstream offerings.
As much as I have endless, white-hot disdain for the web-appification of everything, it does end up working out when Linux runs every popular web browser just as well as the two main commercial operating systems. (I forget if DRM works on Linux, but eh. DVDs exist.)
DRM kind of works, but you don't get full DRM. But then again, I'm not sure you get that even on Windows. I believe full resolution streaming typically requires a smart TV or equivalent box.
Linux is not monolithic, if you have a buggy component you can replace it. With the exception of the kernel of course. I think we're entering the era of personal desktops.
