[proprietary] Professional DAW 'Studio One' is Now on Linux (Public Beta)
(www.omgubuntu.co.uk)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Can we ban posts promoting the use of proprietary software?
Yeah, people don't realize that just because a software is available for Linux, it isn't acceptable that it's proprietary.
I don't care what other people uses, but posts promoting it shouldn't be allowed in a Linux community.
I think that's ridiculous. I vastly prefer FOSS and so I won't use this, but clearly professional software being ported to Linux is a big deal for Linux and its userbase.
Should we ban discussion about any distro that's not certified by the FSF? Should we ban news about proprietary Nvidia drivers?
From the same people jerking themselves off over steam being on Linux.
