I don’t love it because it still lacks the ability to us proven Windows programs even with such programs like “Wine.” Most Linux programs are well written but more than a small amount of those programs still lack that special quality expected from programs.

It has come a long ways but until software companies stop being “afraid of Microsoft,” Linux in what ever form, will never truly become “main stream.”

I can’t wait for that day so I can truly become a Linux only user.

Personal taste is just that – personal.
But what exactly are you looking for?

That’s not true. There is quite a bit of commercial software, especially in the server-sides of things but there’s also a growing market for commercial desktop apps.

I’m a Hardy Heron user and I don’t see this trend as an issue. The more companies that make their games and apps natively available on Linux, the more people can transition over and then more companies will develop for Linux. It’s a vicious circle that, given enough users, results in better software (both free and otherwise) for all Linux users.
