Desktop Use
As a desktop operating system, Linux has been criticized on a number of fronts, including:
- A confusing number of choices of distributions, and desktop environments.
- Audio handling, particularly before PulseAudio became stable and widely supported.
- Poor support for some hardware, in particular drivers for 3D graphics and wireless chips, where manufacturers were unwilling to provide full specifications.
- Lack of well-known native applications, such as top-selling video games and widely used commercial applications (such as Adobe Photoshop and Microsoft Word).
- Lack of standardization regarding GUI API.
