Serious question: it is clear there are many apps where you would want to
leave desktop Linux to run another OS (or use something like WINE, if that
works). There are Windows programs which many people would want to use...
Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Autocad, Camtasia, maybe even MS Office, and others.
On OS X there are programs I use where there are no equals on Windows or -
as far as I know - Linux: iLife, iWork, Tofu, ScreenFlow, and others.
What programs do you think are better on desktop Linux than on any other
platform... maybe programs dealing with media? Not sure? What programs do
you think are best-of-the-breed on Linux?
Not much comes to mind... things such as Firefox is available on other
OSs... no "missing it" when you use another OS. Maybe the package managers
- those are certainly better on Linux than on other OSs... even though other
OSs have similar ideas.
