The problem is you are arguing for argument sake like always and have no vision for the masses but instead encircle yourslef in your own world.

The one who's arguing here is you. It is a fact that linux will end up as always irrelevant towards what the masses want to do. Your the one with no vision around here. Dreams and reality are separated. Just what kind of reality do you wish for people to use half assed solutions ? 

For as long as you are alive, you are a "consumer," saying you don't care is pretty much saying that you don't give a fuck about yourself which I clearly see that's not true so that's full of shit.

This is exactly the kind of shit I keep hearing from paranoid hipster protesters ... Nice use of false equivalence right there. Why should consumers be worried about software rights when it gets the JOB done ? 

Linux is half asses because it doesn't have proper driver support and is the reason why they are only being used as servers at their best utility ATM, if Valve can achieve what other are not able to, not only will Linux not be half assed in the future, it will actually be better, and we should always strive for a better alternative instead of living in a world of monopolization purly run by corporates that are doing whatever they can to give us inferior products with tiny anual upgrades in which they charge the people full prices for.

Driver support isn't the only thing that is lacking. It lacks alot of premium high quality software from windows such as video and photo editors, games, as well as other productivity softwares. I'd rather a monopoly that fucking WORK than a POS that doesn't WORK. 

Consumers don't care about software rights, but they sure as hell care about the amount of dollars they can spend, especially students or people who don't have a real job but are trying to step up into the world without dying from hunger or vitamin deficiency first. Open source free software/hardware has brought so much to the field already, and this is a push in an even better direction.

Consumers do care about the money they spend but why focus working with half assed tools when windows just gets the job done alot better ?

You don't have to get AMD to quit making desktop CPUs, they are already irrelevant vs Intel ATM, and look what's happening with Intel CPU roadmaps, shit ass tiny upgrades every year even though their technology can already push 5 years ahead due to no competition. If the same thing happens to Nvidia vs AMD graphics, we'd be just as fucked on the graphics front.

Atleast the AMD vs Intel shit is actually more competitive than what the Windows vs Linux will ever be. If having a 20% market share isn't worth shit then having under 5% is simply pathetic. 

WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO BREAK OUT OF WINDOWS FOR PC COMPUTING SO THEY CAN WORK HARDER AND MAKE AN EVEN BETTER WINDOWS TO LURE US BACK OR WE'LL JUST GET MORE SHIT LIKE WINDOWS 8!

Windows 8 was mediocre but I'd still have that than Linux.
