James Turner: "Linux is nowhere near ready for the desktop"

"So what does Linux need to do to become a real operating system?"
It needs to work for everything out of the box. This means no kernel
recompilations. A server may be set up once and forgotten about, but people
add and remove hardware from their desktops and laptops constantly. Really,
in order for this to happen, we need to get to a single Linux distribution.
That way, device drivers can be written and packaged up to automatically
install and remove themselves, and be available in precompiled binaries that
can be automatically downloaded from the net. In the current situation, you
often find that your distribution doesn't have a precompiled version of the
driver you need, meaning you need to build it from sources.
The major killer apps need to work seamlessly. Right now, browsers and
e-Mail are in pretty good shape. But DVD playback and high-performance games
are in abysmal shape. I want to be able to pop a DVD in my laptop and get an
experience at least as good as with WinDVD on the same hardware.
