Re: [LAU] bitwig announcement

My take on it is that Linux is about freedom, and for me that includes freedom to use proprietary software when I want/ if it's most appropriate. I use Linux primarily because I like the OS. I also use a lot of GNU/GPL software and have written and contributed to GNU/GPL software - which will be what I primarily use if I can. For me: Windows is crap because it does things behind-the-scenes that are non-user editable - i.e. installing a load of files all over the place which can't be removed/traced easily, registry bloat, inability to lock things down effectively,. Mac - really forces the user to do everything the "Mac" way. Trying to do non-standard things is very difficult/impossible. Linux is very configurable, has performance that doesn't degrade, and I can usually work out how any single bit of the OS is operating if needed. Having proprietary software available only increases the options/flexibility IMHO. Of course everyone has different reasons for using Linux. Vive la difference!
