That's what the map is doing, anyway (plus delays).

That's how ISPs in Germany do it and it works fine. Or if it's urgent, they'll just call you.
No need to invent a new form of communication or do evil things with Squid.
This highly depends on the industry. Camtasia and Screenflow are one thing, but many high-priced CAD / specialist / niche products are offering Linux versions nowadays, which helps Linux adoption in the enterprise.
What else does it suck at? "Desktop" does not mean "gaming".
> there is no solution that provides on-demand GPU switching AND proper external monitor support at the same time
Not true - this is highly hardware dependent. On recent Thinkpads, bumblebee works perfectly fine with externals monitors and has acceptable performance for most tasks (I use it with Blender and have no issues with it). There's still a performance hit since there's no DMA yet, but I hope that Nvidia will fix this one day.
> No. Look at the most recent SteamOS/PC review
It's still a viable gaming platform, even if performance for some recent high-end games is worse than on Windows. It's fine for hundreds of others.
But I agree with you - while it works well for me now, I've spent a huge amount of time debugging Linux graphics in the past and there is still lots of work to be done (and is being done - Wayland will significantly improve things). Right now, the Windows stack is superior.
Example:
Self-hosted WebRTC audio/video conferencing: https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet
Maybe you just had a bad device?
And Cyanogenmod has a built-in color temperature changer anyway.
FreeBSD is actually behind Linux - it lacks an effective access control framework and did not have ASLR until the latest release. At least they're working on it (TrustedBSD, Capsicum).
The malware problem did not affect Windows' popularity either.
So because of the mostly theoretical threat of baseband vulnerabilites, we shouldn't bother securing the software running on the application processor? What if I told you that x86 suffers from similar "there's an omnipotent co-processor with access to your memory" issues?

That cat house has better documentation, unit tests and code coverage than many commercial projects I've worked on.
Not for service providers in the US, but it's a great day for European cloud service providers.
Q: Installing software not managed by the distro’s package manager can be inconvenient for system administrators, especially those who are deeply familiar with the inner workings of their distro.
A: On these concerns: We hear you.
For now, we believe that having our own install scripts allows us to iterate faster, compared to maintaining (and testing) half a dozen package formats for different distros. However, once Sandstorm reaches a stable release, we fully intend to offer more traditional packaging choices as well. We still have lots of work to do!
So, there will be packages once it's stable. Right now, they'd rather spend their time adding new features.
They use containers inside virtual machines. Virtualization for security, containers for deployment.
