Explain Flash, the Catalyst and NVIDIA drivers, Google Chrome and the

People don't expect an operating system which can cost them up to a few 
hundred dollars (depending on which version they choose) to function 
properly? Are you serious?

They were made for people with imaginations and intelligence. Clearly,

Debian IS indeed ONE such product but the majority are NOT such 
products. The problem is that most people don't seek out Debian as the 
distribution of choice for GNU/Linux. Their eyes are rather fixated on 
Linux Mint or Ubuntu.

By the way, you have the right to filter me out if you're bored of my 
comments. I won't shed a tear if I never get to communicate with you again.
