What linux needs?
mahesh2k:
in Short what we need:
1. Better support for drivers & library.
2. Single GUI scripting language runs under any desktop environment.(WXWIDGET)
3. One-Click install function even if computer is not connected to internet.(If you are connected to repository then it will download automatically,otherwise you've to compiler from source)
4. Documentation
5. Community which directs new programmers to step-in to developement.
I do agree with Geekdom thing,KDE developers are restricting the things for the Coomunity.They are not listening to new users.Very few users know about Plasma programming roadmap in KDE.
Linux is free,and user friendl if and only if new ideas are welcome here or otherwise it is obsolete.

Binary packages, please.

I always find it so weird that people seem to think that kde or gnome or any of these things are "linux". They are not.

;) What linux needs:
Computers in the European Union should be sold without a bundled operating system, according to our new submission to the European Commission.

That may be true - but KDE seems to have become a de facto standard and for most users they install Linux with KDE (and probably Gnome too) so their perception is that Linux and KDE are all one. In reality how many people actually use Linux these days as a purely command prompt interface?

Won't happen - and if it doesn't no one will be happy:
* Manufacturers will miss out on kickbacks from MS and other crapware advertisers so built system prices will increase drammatically
* Other than hardware faults manufacturer support will be impossible (or at least not offered)
* Most people will buy Windows - and most won't have even heard of OEM versions so it will cost a fortune => computer sales will plummit
* Linux is not prime time - and most users will never have heard of it and won't be able to use it out of the box even if they had - it will spawn a paid support industry adding more costs to end users
Realistically there isn't competition in OS for Joe Public.
Interesting if this became law - would Apple also have to comply?
