> You can't get your favorite TV shows or apps on Linux.
I would agree with TV shows not being legally available as easily on Linux as on Mac or Windows, primarily due to the lack of support for Linux from Netflix. That doesn't affect me personally, since I just pirate everything anyway, and there are a dozen different Linux video players you can pick from if you've got a DRM-free x264-encoded video file.
Either way, when one is developing, access to TV shows isn't exactly a big concern.
As for apps, I don't see the big deal, especially for development work (and it's developers we're talking about here). All the necessary tools for webdev are available.
