The Three Things That Once Resolved Would Make Linux So Much More Competative

Bear in mind this is the choice of Linux vendors and developers so I might not be the top 3 on the list of an home user.

You can read the whole discussion with the comments here. This is the context for Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols post:

San Francisco, Calif.–While at LinuxWorld at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, I chaired the panel on what the OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) that are pre-installing Linux on their PCs are up to and I attended another panel on what the Linux desktop architects have planned. One theme that showed up at both functions is: “What does Linux need to do to compete more successfully on the desktop?” We came up with several pain points, but some of them are clearly hurting Linux more than the others.

The big three were power management, applications and device drivers.

The responses of the reader depended greatly on their perspective. Adan Kane on Foogazi.com supported the conclusions while many others that use Linux for other purposes suggested a very different list.

I wonder what would be the big three of the Linux home user?
