Show me a program that runs .ass subs on linux PROPERLY and I will admit I am wrong.
VLC runs them, but doesn't count, because it isn't able to run them properly. Linux crashed when I ran games that were written for linux, and linux made it impossible for me to reinstall windows.
What else do you do on your computer? Write? Word, and open office are great for that type of thing. Programming? Windows is where all the money is for programmers. Video editing? I don't know, but I didn't see any good editing programs for linux the 3 weeks that I used it.
