1. Ugly font rendering
Are you willing to pay to license the patented technologies that make font redering prettier?
2. Automatic installation of extraneous/unrequested packages, especially after initial installation.
...dependencies. Any particular examples?
3. Crippled packages meant to prevent compatibility with proprietary multimedia formats.
see 1). Many currently widespread audio/video codecs are patented.
4. Difficult to install multimedia and/or proprietary formats and drivers.
see 1) and 3).
5. Breakage of YaST modules.
...examples? So basically your list of five paper cuts comes down to one central problem that can't be solved, and that is commonly known as "software patents", and two technical problems that might be solved if there were actual examples for what the problem is. by the way, where does one find that "latest distrowatch review", google does not know it. cheers MH -- gpg key fingerprint: 5F64 4C92 9B77 DE37 D184 C5F9 B013 44E7 27BD 763C -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
