Sorry to contradict that, but most of the major film studios (Dreamworks
Animation, Industrial Light & Magic, Pixar and Weta Digital) have
migrated to Linux and not just in servers but their workstations.
And this is not _my_claim:

I don't think you're a troll, it's just you seem to be requesting for a
default setting that will only make happy a little part of the linux
users, so IMO, that has not much sense.

Post already read.
With all the respects, there are distributions out there that are focused
to the multimedia (audio/video) sector, in the same way there are other
distributions focused to scientific tasks or to kids, or DYS or...
whatever! You can even rent a set of programmers and make your own super-
media linux suite. What we have in the linux world is a big variety of
choices for almost anything so complaining on this is a bit senseless,
again, IMO.

You are there to tell. This is Linux, we all have to question many
things! Not everyone knows about all.

Not necessarily. Many windows admins migrate to linux to start with it
and they become newbies when it comes to linux configuration and setup.

What you seem to bypass is that e-v-e-r-y-o-n-e will have to read, find
and ask. Read, find, ask. Despite he is a master and commander of the
"multimedia" or a linux hacker, or a windows expert... we all have to
read manuals and ask questions... again, not everyone knows about all. If
you need a special setup for your workstation, ask! If it is possible,
someone will tell.
