Given the closed spec, patent infiltrated field of media industry, unhelpful professional, Linux is never expected to catch up. It is a glass ceiling created by media industry to prevent the spread of free software... > > Before others helpfully pitch in.

No professional will bother to file a bug report for the specific problems being faced with the software. Bug filing is and requirement specification, is the only price you have to pay for using free software. Go ahead and file 10000 bugs and if those bugs dont get fixed over a period of time, then say things are not catching up... The developer never has full deep understanding of user actions. But when someone pays $$$ for buying a software, they will shout at the top of the pitch to get a feature added or bug fixed. But when it is free software, the same person will use the software once and then rant for rest of his life... For those who have specific cases of things not working, do you have a publicly available list of things which are missing ? > Plus that hardware engineering that cuts out electrical noise, or even > gives me zero sound for Mic recordings, that's priceless.
