Linux is born quite many times agos and did not stopped to grow.
Linux is now a major part of the server market and this
alone make it's life sure.
To hope find a solution to problems, these problems must be
precisely evaluated and solutions found.
right now, I see only one real problem, covering most of
your concerns: some unavoidable public standards are legally
uncompatible with opensource (mp3 writing - not reading,
dvdcss...)
in that matter, there are two solution part:
* find a company willing to pay for a global licence for the
proprietary standards (probably the simpler part)
* find a way to make these drivers interact with opensourse.
A very good solution is an openSUSE _BOX_. Only the
opensource world need to accept than _some_ very small parts
of a running system _can't be_ opensource, only for a dawn
fu... legal reason. The reaction on the deal
Novell/Microsoft shows that part of the OS community is not
yet ready to this, may be simply because a legal frame have
not yet been found that makes all the parties feel comfortable.
this is the right direction to work, not wide spread rants...
