I am one of those people who needed both Yellow Dog and PSN with games and Netflix. This was far before Wine was hacked to support Netflix. I used my PS3 as my primary desktop for a long time, and liked the ability to reboot for games. I eventually needed it more as a Netflix box, so the desktop got replaced. I haven't bought anything from Sony since. The move was more than just inconvenience. The presence of an OtherOS feature in a major DRM platform was an olive branch. Sony was saying its proprietary system could happily coexist with open systems. By removing this feature, they sent the message that coexistence was impossible. They don't encourage installing non-Sony software on any devices they sell now as far as I know. Maybe we'll find some way to restore the truce, but it has to come from their side. Free software is always open for integration. It's built-in. If Sony decides they can coexist with it again, all will be well.
