Let me say it this way, if I really ever wanted this TV set then I wouldn't mind. The same is with Linux: if you want free, open-source OS then you should know that there's no Photoshop, IE and all those games you can have on Windows. Also, before installing Linux you should be aware that not every piece of hardware can work in Linux. I agree, these are big disadvantages for normal user - the choice depends on users' priorities.
