What Linux is missing for the home user

Programming

Linux needs:


  • Clip art. There's some svg and OO.org stuff, but it is very far from a respectable collection.
  • Smart media player (along the lines Windows Media Player). Amarok is getting there, but it's still a little buggy, doesn't support .wma and .asf files, and the 'play audio cd' feature needs to be much more obvious.
  • something significantly functionally (not philosophically) superior to Windows. A compelling reason to switch.
