It's fine for those that are willing to spend some time on getting some aspect (in this case hardware-accelerted OpenGL) of their system working. However OpenGL 3 will not work out of the box on a new Linus installation. It will not work on a PC that came pre-installed with Linux. Neither Debian nor Dell will openly break US patent law (no will any other distribution/computer vendor). In userfriendlyness there's a huge difference between: - -OpenGL 3 just works (distribution's hardware autodetection installed free DRI drivers supporting OpenGL 3, PC came with them preinstalled) - -User has to search the web to find some forum or website telling him to download and install a library hosted in switzerland to get OpenGL 3 working (and that this is unlawful depending on where the user lives).
