And again, on Windows, i wouldnt have to do that. I just download the program and there it is.
Let me just propose a different scenario: i watch football via Wow.tv. Before i installed Linux, i
Opened up a browser
Went to the website
Entered a password
Watched the stream.
On linux i tried that, got hit with the old “DRM content on Linux” razzledazzle, tried to figure out if i could install a browser that runs via wine to access the site, only to get hit with four forum entries all saying: “Why tf do you want to run a browser via wine? Dont do that.”
I had to whip out my old windows laptop to watch my footie.
I love linux. I love being able to tinker and do all the cool stuff on it, being independent of large corps and such. But for a lot of people this isnt worth the hassle. And not recognizing this is one of the reasons why Linux will not reach mass adoption.
Dont know, but i had to go that route.
