This is Linux, you have the power and the code to mould your desktop in your
own image. Dont wait for a distro which is legally encumbered or slow
maintainers.
This speaks exactly to what I'm trying to say. My interests in
multimedia are exclusively as a user. Maybe I could spend a year or two
researching the various technologies and standards and come up with
something I liked, but frankly life is too short and there are too many
other interesting things to do. All I want are some clear guidelines and
I'll take care of the rest.
