A good lesson for the anti-FLOSS crowd so heavily present in this website.
I'll be the first to admit Linux desktops are full of flaws (although there are other options), just like every other OS but they could be fixed given enough money or maybe you could be the one that write that code.
But an OS that is not FLOSS will always work against their users and restrict their freedom. It's also a big joke that they have so many ads talking about privacy, when they are just as bad as their rivals. I do understand that not everyone has a choice because specialized software that they need for professional use could be available only in other platforms and that's unfortunately.
I don't expect an utopic world where everything is FLOSS but the OS is too important to be closed. It will only get worse with time.
