The worst part is that I was, for a year and a half, a much more 
hardcore GNU/Linux advocate than anyone else. For one, I always refer to 
the operating system by its proper name of GNU/Linux. I also refused to 
use ANY proprietary software whether it was on my own or on work 
computers. In fact, all of my media was also encoded in free formats 
such as FLAC, Ogg Vorbis and Theora. In the case of Theora, my videos 
CLEARLY looked worse than ANY video in the x.264 format but I didn't 
care... Theora was freedom. So they can call me a sock, a troll or 
whatever the hell they want but the reality is that I can be one hell of 
an ally if they stop behaving like little kids.

You have to go into GNU/Linux with a good understanding of the 
philosophy of free software to enjoy it. If you know that a community of 
unpaid labourers is what is mostly behind the operating system, you can 
overlook certain problems. If you go into it expecting a true competitor 
to something like Windows or OS X, you'll be disappointed. That's why I 
think that GNU/Linux should exist ONLY in completely free form. No 
proprietary software whatsoever, not even for drivers. Of course, that 
move will make the system unusable for many configurations. However, it 
will make the system's state acceptable to anyone using it and encourage 
people to improve faulty software on their own by taking up programming 
rather than waiting for a third-party to fix the software like Windows 
users do. A fully-free GNU/Linux wouldn't even come close to being 
better than either proprietary system, but it would ETHICALLY be better 
than both by miles. Chances are that it would also encourage more people 
to use it in general (more than 2% anyway) AND force media companies to 
release their codecs openly rather than in closed form.
