Just going to add my two cents here: When you go 100% purist on people then you scare away the people who could use an OS with 90% free drivers and 90% free apps. Particularly when your claims as to what the drivers or apps can do are blatantly false or misleading, when you're desperately trying to tell me that I shouldn't be doing whatever I am trying to do or that the open source [whatever] is better when anyone without an inch thick rosy glasses can see that they're not.
Many people are actively *hostile* to closed source and will do everything to destroy interoperability, talk trash to users about it and those who use it because they fear it will be popular. They'd rather trick, intimidate and force people to use the open source code even if it is dog shit in the hope that someone will improve it.
I went back to Windows but use as much open source software as possible, because there I have choices including "not good enough" and check my wallet for what alternatives there are. Linux is the One Open-Source Way, in that any closed source software that tries to play gets quickly run out of town by a system that spits it out and users that spit on it.
