the same things which I like about it. The
broad choice of software, the lack of strict organization and the
community. All very powerful things sometimes creating great
stuff, sometimes misused and leading to animosity or waste of
resources and failures, because the phenomenon is not yet fully
understood.

well, i guess dislike is too strong of a word
here, but I dislike that in some areas Free Software is still
lacking behind proprietary software...by ages
|
|

lack of main stream
|
|

|
Mainstream doesnt recognize support it. Some
things have little driver support. Lots of apps no linux versions.
Cant easily play world of warcraft.

the fealing that all software must be foss or
it isnt welcome, there are legitimate applications for businesses
that can be closed and that people can pay for, and this is not a
bad thing. I am only unhappy that there doesnt seem to be room for
both worlds in one arena.

7 |
the mentality of some people in the community
|
| 8 |
too much distros
|
|
9 |
hardware support (lackthereof)
|
|
10 |
The obvious non-support for some hardware
(actually I dislike the hardware vendors) and missing software for
playing or using closed formats and protocols. In some parts of
the FOSS world I miss a strong vision and entropy. The Debian and
Gnome projects are examples of this at the moment and commercial
projects seem not to suffer from this a lot.

- The belief that if one can eventually figure
out how to do what you want to do this means that the
documentation is perfect. - Hard to install custom versions of
applications.
|
|

-the 'you're a programmer so just patch it
yourself'-answer :-) -the amount of bugs in certain (clearly
undertested) features -autotools

Like: Much more user friendly license.
Availability of source (my main pet-peeve in the 80s before GPL).
Efficient development model.
Dislike: Not enough hardware vendor
involvement.
|
|
14 |
dogmatism
|
|
15 |
Lack of hardware support among Linux
distributions. Developers who treat 'open source' software like it
is there property and who get fired up at new people asked
questions.
|
|
16 |
Many half-finished solutions and abandoned
projects
|
|
17 |
It' not popular enough, low speed of modern
desktop environments, too much "oldschool *nix" attitude
on a desktop (applications and DE's not integrated enough, too
lightweight attitude to graphics and functionality, graphical
configuration largely not standardized yet and lacking features),
still hard to migrate from MS Windows (applications and their
datas) and to interoperate with it.

people like the gnome-screensaver guy.
|
|
19 |
fragmentation like gnome/kde. competition is
good but i think open source development coukld be faster
sometimes if everybody would join forces and not pursue his own
little path...

The community (sometimes). There are many
people who seem to prefer their Free and Open Source versions of a
particular type of software and dissent anybody who is even
moderately fond of any proprietary alternative. To me, this has
been a reason for reluctance to even bother beginning to
contribute. The community will have to smarten up severely if they
want to attract more professional developers.
|
|
21 |
Support by non FOSS application developers
|
|
22 |
Freebie-people that it attracts, people that
take it as given that 'you should fix it' and never move their own
ass. Microsoft bashers.
|
|
23 |
wasteful dobule effort of some projects
|
|
24 |
Lack of penetration into mainstream...
|
|
25 |
The occasional requirement to understand
everything before you have a right to ask for help. (RTFM)
|
|
26 |
dislike? ;)
|
|
27 |
A lot of OSS isn't pretty and sparkly, so
mainstream people think its crap. I dislike that.
