I don't agree. I do think our main goal should be to provide a good linux
distro with as few proprietary packages as possible.
Ok, if it is about drivers, there's not a real choice, so I do advocate
providing the nvidia/amd drivers for the graphics cards, the partly
proprietary drivers for some network cards (especially wlan).
This is a question of usability of the distro.
But I don't like us providing more and more nonfree applications.
It really is not that difficult to install things like flash, skype, teamviewer
and so on.
In my eyes it would be the far better solution to provide documentation on how
to install them then provide a lot of those "get-foo" packages.
Although "easy usability" is a good thing, people should remember they are
working on the most complex machine they do have in their homes.
While nobody expects to be able to use a modern video recorder without reading
the manual first, everybody expects to be able to use a far more complex
machine like a computer without reading anyting?
I don't like to support that view, so why not tell people:
"We are an OpenSource project and our goal is to support OpenSource software.
Now it is possible to install your precious applications, just look at this
wiki page and you will be able to do it without a problem, but be aware, that
is proprietary software and it would be better to find OpenSource
alternatives."
