Why on earth would you think that? There ARE 100% Free versions. Use
that. For others that want their HW to work a mix and match is fine.

How will it make the "state acceptable"? Makes zero sense.

Huh? You can do that with mix and match SW too.

A well configured Linux system is easily on a par with Windows for many
uses - but audio visual and gaming certainly not.

It wouldnt "force" anything of the kind. Windows as 90% and more and the
companies dont release their closed source. Why would they give their
work away for Linux freetards to steal and their competitors to analyse?
