Hulu/Netflix do not offer support for Linux, and HD doesn't work at all
At least for me, using either Firefox (DRM enabled) or Chrome, all video on Hulu appeared to be less than 720p. Definitely far from 1080p, despite having far more speed than is required for it. I talked to a Hulu support rep about it, and they told me they do not offer support for Linux, something to do with its "customizable" nature.
This was after trying and failing to get HD working on Netflix. (They told me about the same.) The add-ons don't work currently and there is no known workaround yet.
I canceled both accounts after telling them why.
While I'd prefer to not have to deal with DRM at all, I would tolerate the situation if the DRM actually fully worked on Linux. It does not, and I'm not giving anyone money for a resolution only appropriate over a decade ago.

It's the last remaining hurdle to using Linux for everything I do, and I'm documenting the entire journey.

We need more graphical programs for intermediate computer users who aren't comfortable with CLI tools
I hear or at least heard, a lot of complaints that you need to open the terminal to use Linux. I'm very comfortable with the terminal, but new users aren't. In order to welcome new users with open arms, distros need to be more user friendly. I have been wanting to learn QT, and I thought trying to make helpful graphical front ends would be a great idea. The first thing that comes to mind, has to be config files. New users don't want to edit files to change settings. That isn't what the majority of people are used to. With all of this being said, what CLI program do you wish had a graphical front end?

A year ago, someone asked if you guys use gnome with x.org or wayland, I'm curious to see if the answers have changed much, so, what do you use?

Languages used for IT infrastructure don’t have expiration dates. COBOL’s been around for 60 years—and isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. We maintain billions of lines of classic code for mainframes. But we’re also building new infrastructures for the cloud…
