Good idea.

Good application for Linux.

I don't have those problems.
Never have.
What kind of sites are you visiting?
I use Adblock with Chrome and Opera.

Well I gave you one, VLC for your video/ avi corruption :)

I'm not anti-Linux at all and in fact I run my home media server on Linux.
However when it comes to mainstream applications, multimedia, support for
things like tablets, smart phones, hardware and so forth, nothing comes
close to Windows and especially in terms of applications.
Context sensitive help is just one area where Linux fails.

The truth is, Linux applications are like something out of the mid 90's.
Take away the freedom factor and charge for Linux and zero people would be
running Linux.

Most of the people running Linux hate corporations, hate Microsoft, loath
Apple and so forth. And they are willing to put up with half baked unstable
user unfriendly Linux applications just so they can toss the middle finger
at Microsoft.

It's basically cutting off ones nose to spite ones face.

As for support, take a look at this group as an example. It's pathetic. The
people are nasty, ignorant and childish. Is this really the kind of support
you want to depend upon? And you can extrapolate this to any Linux group.
Same crazy people.

Linux is great in theory but terrible in practice. Seriously. Unless you
are some kind of command line junkie circa 1985 running Linux applications
is a huge step in the wrong direction and ignoring their faults for the
sake of freedom fighting is a losing battle.

Why?

Did you see that the FSF just sold out to corporations?
Yep.
They are abandoning the Linux community and following the money.
Wonder how all the suckers who give away their software and time feel about
that.

It's your choice, but just take a look at what photography applications are
available for Windows or OSX vs Linux and honestly look at the features
before deciding.
