My thoughts on this subject are relatively straightforward and easy to
express.
What you've described below is already available. In Windoze.
I more or less expected this elitist garbage from somebody. Do you run KDE or GNOME? If so, stop. Immediately. As in, right now. They're nothing but rip-offs of the lame Windows desktop.
There's a reason I don't run M$'s junk, apart from its instability. I *enjoy* learning, doing, customizing, and just playing around sometimes.
So do I. That's why I use Linux too. But ALSA can stand some improvement. Though I can already see that this conversation is going nowhere and getting there fast.
Linux isn't terribly easy, it isn't a Windoze wannabe, and it seems to
me that anyone wanting such a "system" should feel free to use it.
Translation: It's complicated to configure ALSA on purpose to keep "icky people" from using it. Yeah! Keep those stupid lusers out. Nice attitude.
As for M$'s "benchmarks", that's not a reason for screaming, it's more a
cause for laughter.
Linus didn't seem to think so. But of course, I'm sure he bows to the greater wisdom of one Stephen Stocker.
