Total hogwash sir!
Keep in mind that the tech know-how of members on this list is certainly

above average and these are the sort of details we thrive upon. He's saved

us having to do more research to find this stuff out, details most of us

here are concerned about and do want to know.
This is also certainly nowhere near the top five reasons for people not

using Linux like:
People not knowing about it (lack of exposure/ marketing)
Most people not knowing how to use it or why they'd want to
Lack of big commercial games
Missing apps (pro-video and CAD being the classic examples here)
Poor documentation for many open source apps
Stupid defaults
I'll leave it at that as thats already 6 but there's many more key reasons

before we get to 'devs telling us tech details about their apps' which is a

big plus for most Linux users.
My rant is done, soapbox stashed - I wish you a good evenin' squire!
