Downvotes, really? I can understand "religious" flames, but people at HN also disagree with statements of fact? Fact: Linux/OSS has bad/lacking/non-existent support for video editing. The fact that you can point to 2-3 half-finished NLE projects that no professional uses doesn't change this. There are the plugins, the drivers for capture options, other supporting software, etc missing. Fact: Linux/OSS had bad/lacking/non-existent support for MIDI/Audio sequencing. The fact that you can point to 2-3 half-finished DAW projects that no professional uses doesn't change this. There are the plugins, the drivers for capture options, other supporting software, etc missing. No, some semi-abandoned VST wrapper is not a solution. Fact: Linux/OSS has bad/lacking/non-existent DTP/CMYK support. No Scribus doesn't exactly cut it professionally, and the fact that GIMP got CMYK doesn't change the lack of other parts of the CMYK workflow much.

While it's true that that's a reason for some people not to use Linux, it's not a reason for him not to use Linux, and it doesn't discount the point which you replied to, that this decision probably doesn't matter. Everybody already knows that you can only do some things on some operating systems. Also, since we've established that listing statements of fact cannot be downvoted... Fact: Yo momma/guardian is so fat/obese/lardful, she added two and two and got four! Fact: Yo momma/guardian is so fat/obese/lardful, strip had a stack overflow! Fact: Yo momma/guardian is so fat/obese/lardful, she crushes ants when she steps on them!
