Now that 11.4 is done and nearly out, we can think of the future.
in 2011, most of us do not use anymore Windows or nearly. Still when we advertise openSUSE we need to be cautious. switching completely to openSUSE is nearly impossible, because there are still some locks.
We should try to identify them and make the necessary effort to solve them.
The installation problem is the most well known and we already work each day to solve it and make default install a snap on nearly any computer. The use of installable live cd/dvd solves most of these problems and anyway we can't do better than what we already do on this respect.
So give testimonies here, and fill openfate entries to any lock you indentify
here are three of mine:
* have a decent linear video editor: https://features.opensuse.org/311439
* fully read slideshows: https://features.opensuse.org/311440
* I would add: make USB hardware more linux friendly, but this is more a kernel problem. I anyway open a feature for that, but I don't know exactly how we can make it successfull https://features.opensuse.org/311441

As someone who ditched Windows back in the glory days of Windows 95, I would like to turn the question completely the other way around and ask why you still use Linux. There must be very positive and compelling reasons. As framed the question seems to imply that there are a massive number of problems and limits associated with Linux's ability to get work done.

Slating wine is futile as it's always behind the offerings from Codeweavers who are major contributors to wine, the lag being for their commercial interests and those of their customers' contract limitations on public disclosure of certain code.
