I can even track down the software developers to ask them questions, contribute ideas, and get involved in the actual design/software writing process if I want to 合法自定义任何我想要的东西，包括我最喜爱的程序。我甚至可以跟踪软件开发者并向他们问问题，提意见，如果我愿意的话，也可以参与到真正的软件设计和开发进程中去。
15. Have 4+ word processor windows open working on papers, listen to music, play with flashy desktop effects, have contact with a largely happy community and have Firefox, instant messaging, and email clIEnts all open at the same time, without ever having had to beg someone for a code to make my os work, and without the system running so slow it is useless 超过4个的文字处理窗口，听音乐，玩超酷的桌面效果，联系一个大型的社区，并同时运行着firefox，即时通讯以及email客户端，而不必求爷爷告奶奶的要什么令我的系统可以运作的代码，而不会把系统变慢。
