Does Linux Lack a Killer App?
================================================================================
![](http://www.linuxinsider.com/images/rw302843/linux-killer-app.jpg)
**What Linux needs most is games, said Hyperlogos blogger Martin Espinoza. However, "if you were trying to narrow it down to one app, it would probably still be Photoshop. For all the talk of how great GIMP has become, usability is still an abject nightmare, and in spite of the OSS community's self-back-patting regarding documentation, there is no documentation for GIMP which is not pathetic."**
Well the days are heating up here in the Linux blogosphere, and FOSS fans are flocking to the Broken Windows Lounge as much for the frosty air-conditioning as for the conversation.
Even Linux Girl, whose days generally involve far more pavement-pounding than she'd like, has found herself seeking solace in the blogobar's arctic climes far more often than she probably should.
It's a good thing she has been, though, or she might have missed the latest juicy debate. "What killer app is Linux missing?" was the question that [kicked things off][1], and the discussion has been escalating ever since.
"The Free Software world is incredibly rich, and covers pretty much all bases," **Linux Voice's** Mike Saunders began. "We have a wealth of desktop, server, development and multimedia tools to choose from -- some of which are the best in their field.
"But what is missing?" Sanders went on provocatively. "Is there a killer app that prevents you from running Linux 24x7 on your main machine?"
There was a momentary lull in the conversation around the bar as patrons pondered the suggestion. Linux Girl tried to enjoy the fleeting peace, but it didn't last for more than an instant.
### 'Depends on What You Do' ###
![Linux Girl](http://www.linuxinsider.com/images/article_images/linuxgirl_bg_pinkswirl_150x245.jpg)
"A long time ago Linux needed a lot of things," Google+ blogger Alessandro Ebersol offered. "These days, when every software and the kitchen sink are migrating to the cloud, everything is going to be multiplatform.
"I would say we lacked games, but that also is being taken care of," Ebersol said. "So I don't feel that we desperately need a killer app anymore."
The killer app "depends on what you do with your computer," consultant and [Slashdot][2] blogger Gerhard Mack opined. "If you are drafting, then the killer app is Autocad. But for other industries the killer app will be something else."
### 'The Enterprise Space' ###
Google+ blogger Kevin O'Brien had a similar view.
"There isn't much left on the consumer level," O'Brien said. "I could maybe gripe about games or Nvidia drivers, and I don't really see anything that can replace Quicken. But for me the big difference maker is in the enterprise space.
"Microsoft owns that, and there is nothing that compares to Outlook/Exchange server, Sharepoint, etc.," he asserted. "I suspect part of the reason is that there are not a lot of open source developers who really care about that stuff."
### 'The Tide Is Changing' ###
It's not so much a "missing app" situation as a "not-enough-critical-mass" kind of problem, Google+ blogger Gonzalo Velasco C. suggested.
Many more people use Linux today than did five years ago, he noted; at the same time, many are tied to non-Linux-friendly applications.
"'Everybody' uses $kype, but we have half a dozen apps for that in GNU/Linux, from the simple and very useful Pidgin (my favorite) to Ekiga and similar VoIP apps," Gonzalo Velasco C. explained. "Some users still claim they need Photo$hop and don't take the time to master and suggest improvements for GIMP, Inkscape, Bender and others."
Games used to be missing, "but the tide is changing, mainly -- but not only -- because of Valve's brave SteamOS movement," he added.
### 'Retail Shelf Space' ###
"I don't think there are any 'killer' apps these days," blogger [Robert Pogson][3] agreed. "In Debian GNU/Linux, there are 40K packages. My main PC has only 3K installed and I lack nothing. I have multiple browsers, editors, compilers/interpreters, platforms, and with virtual machinery like KVM, I can play with multiple operating systems and different versions of software as needed.
"I can treat multiple machines as if they were a single machine from anywhere on the LAN," Pogson added. "I can access resources on any node on the LAN from any machine. What more do I need?"
That said, "several professionals have told me that video and image editors in GNU/Linux are a bit weak," he noted. "GIMP is being improved in bit-depth, so that should be covered. Lightworks will eventually be released as FLOSS, so video should be covered."
Nevertheless, "these are tiny niches in IT," he pointed out. "Many ordinary folks go decades without using those other special applications, so I don't think this is anything holding GNU/Linux back."
The real killer in the market, however, is lack of shelf space in retail stores, Pogson asserted. "Where that is covered, GNU/Linux thrives."
### 'Linux Has Lost Out to OS X' ###
Chris Travers, a [blogger][4] who works on the [LedgerSMB][5] project, had a different perspective.
"I don't think that it is a question of killer apps," he began. "The real issue is that on the desktop, Linux has generally lost out to OS X, while it is increasingly dominating the server market along with the BSDs. People who use Linux on the desktop tend to be looking for openness."
What Linux needs is either "the momentum of Microsoft or the smooth UI and attention to detail of OS X," Travers said. "These may come over time."
### The Documentation Problem ###
Linux isn't missing one killer app -- "what it's missing is polish, as always," [Hyperlogos][6] blogger Martin Espinoza opined. "No desktop environment for Linux has the polish of Windows XP, let alone Windows 7.
"Move away from the bloat and oversimplicity of GNOME or from the widget salad of [KDE][7] to what, Xfce or LXDE, with their perfectly horrible file managers and primitive panels?" Espinoza added. "GNOME is the only DE that ever got close, and then they decided to remove all the complexity and eliminate their reason to exist."
Windows is just "a nicer place to hang out," he asserted.
Still, if Linux is missing anything for broader acceptance, "that is games," Espinoza said. "If you were trying to narrow it down to one app, it would probably still be Photoshop. For all the talk of how great GIMP has become, usability is still an abject nightmare, and in spite of the OSS community's self-back-patting regarding documentation, there is no documentation for GIMP which is not pathetic."
GIMP "might be able to do most of the things Photoshop can do, but I'll probably never know," Espinoza concluded. "I suppose if I spent hours trolling fora I could find out how to use GIMP. This failing is shared by most OSS projects, including the ones that think they're really well-documented."
### 'Ease of Use and Support' ###
Ease of use and support are the "killer app" SoylentNews blogger hairyfeet named.
"Oh, a freshly installed Linux distro LOOKS nice, it works great; the problem is it doesn't CONTINUE to look nice or work great," he explained. "First update and whoops! Wireless no longer can use WPA V2. Second update? Whoops, say goodbye to sound, as Pulse has puked. First 'upgrade'? Uh oh, hope you didn't need that!
"THIS is what Windows and OS X have that Linux doesn't: the ease of use and support," hairyfeet concluded. "As long as it takes 15+ Linux releases to equal the same support cycle a single Windows release gets? Then I'm sorry, but your product is just not in the same league -- you are comparing HS baseball to the majors."
### 'Windows 8' ###
Last but not least, [Linux Rants][8] blogger Mike Stone had a surprising suggestion.
"The killer app that Linux has been missing all these years is Windows 8," Stone quipped.
"Seriously, I don't think there is a particular app that can be the 'killer app,'" he said. "Linux needs to have more mainstream application support, and that's going to mean Photoshop and Microsoft Office at the minimum. Thankfully, Microsoft has done their best to make Office less relevant, and most people don't need Photoshop."
Linux "could be reaching critical mass, and I was only partially joking when I said Windows 8 earlier," he concluded. "The application base in Linux is starting to arrive, and the current version of Windows is remarkably unpopular. Fingers crossed we see some motion here soon."

Linux 缺乏一款杀手级应用程序吗？
================================================================================
![](http://www.linuxinsider.com/images/rw302843/linux-killer-app.jpg)
**Linux 最需要的就是游戏， Hyperlogos 的博主 Martin Espinoza 如是说。然而，“如果您把它限定到一款应用程序的话，最需要的很可能仍是 Photoshop 。尽管大家都在谈论 GIMP 已经变得多么多么强大，但它的易用性仍然是个悲催的噩梦；虽然开源社区有些相关的文档，但 GIMP 仍是处在缺乏文档的可怜状态。”**
这些日子这儿越来越热了，Linux 博客世界和 FOSS 论坛的粉丝们都蜂拥入带有破窗的休息室，边吹着冷空调，边讨论此话题。
甚至是 [Linux Girl][9]，这些天也被这些越来越多的潮流所冲击，正在 blogobar 上寻求能使其降温的慰籍，而且越来越频繁。
虽然她们这样做比较正确，但或许她们已经错过了最鲜最美味可口的辩论大餐。“Linux 缺少什么样的杀手级应用程序？”这个问题[已经扩大化了][1],关于此的讨论越演越烈，已经超出以往任何时候。
开源软件世界的软件是如此令人难以置信的丰富，几乎涵盖了所有的领域，” **Linux Voice** 的 Mike Saunders 开头说到。“我们有桌面端的、服务端的、开发相关的及多媒体工具等一大笔来自开源世界的财富可以选择 -- 其中的某些还是在相关领域中最好的呢。”
“但还缺少什么吗？” Sanders 接下来提出可争议的话题。“是不是存在一款杀手级应用程序，它会使你的主机不能 24x7 小时的在运行？”

Linux 缺乏一款杀手级应用程序吗？
================================================================================
![](http://www.linuxinsider.com/images/rw302843/linux-killer-app.jpg)
**Linux 最需要的就是游戏， Hyperlogos 的博主 Martin Espinoza 如是说。然而，“如果您把它限定到一款应用程序的话，最需要的很可能仍是 Photoshop 。尽管大家都在谈论 GIMP 已经变得多么多么强大，但它的易用性仍然是个悲催的噩梦；虽然开源社区有些相关的文档，但 GIMP 仍是处在缺乏文档的可怜状态。”**
这些日子这儿越来越热了，Linux 博客世界和 FOSS 论坛的粉丝们都蜂拥入带有破窗的休息室，边吹着冷空调，边讨论此话题。
甚至是 [Linux Girl][9]，这些天也被这些越来越多的潮流所冲击，正在 blogobar 上寻求能使其降温的慰籍，而且越来越频繁。
虽然她们这样做比较正确，但或许她们已经错过了最鲜最美味可口的辩论大餐。“Linux 缺少什么样的杀手级应用程序？”这个问题[已经扩大化了][1],关于此的讨论越演越烈，已经超出以往任何时候。
开源软件世界的软件是如此令人难以置信的丰富，几乎涵盖了所有的领域，” **Linux Voice** 的 Mike Saunders 开头说到。“我们有桌面端的、服务端的、开发相关的及多媒体工具等一大笔来自开源世界的财富可以选择 -- 其中的某些还是在相关领域中最好的呢。”
“但还缺少什么吗？” Sanders 接下来提出可争议的话题。“是不是存在一款杀手级应用程序，它会使你的主机不能 24x7 小时的在运行？”
参与者围绕着吧台考虑这话题的时候，出现了短暂的间歇。Linux Girl 也享受着这短暂的平静，但并没有持续多久。
### '取决于您的所需' ###
![Linux Girl](http://www.linuxinsider.com/images/article_images/linuxgirl_bg_pinkswirl_150x245.jpg)
“很久以前，Linux 需要很多东西，” Google+ 的博主 Alessandro Ebersol 发言了。“当任何软件和厨房水槽都迁移到云端的那些日子，做任何的事情都得考虑多平台兼容性。”
“我想说的是我们缺少游戏，但这种情况也正在被开改变，” Ebersol 说道。“所以我觉得我们并不是那么迫切的需要一个杀手级应用了。”
杀手级应用程序“取决于你想用计算机做什么，” consultant 和 [Slashdot][2] 博客的 Gerhard Mack 认为。“如果您正准备拟稿做设计，那么杀手级应用程序就是 AUTOCAD 。但对其它行业来说杀手级应用程序将是别的。”
### '企业平台空间' ###
Google+ 博客的 Kevin O'Brien 有相似的观点。
“在消费级别存在的应用程序不算太多，” O'Brien 说。“我虽然会抱怨游戏或者 Nvidia 驱动程序，并且我看还没有任何东西能真正替代 Quicken。（译者注：Quicken 是一款家庭及个人财务管理软件，可管理个人及家庭的日常收支、银行卡、支票、信用卡及税务等财务信息，有着丰富的功能和简单快捷的操作。）但对我来说最大的不同是企业平台空间。”
“微软就拥有企业平台空间，没有什么比得过 Outlook/Exchange 服务, Sharepoint 等这些应用的，”他断言到。“我猜测部分原因可能是真正关心这些的开源开发者很少很少。”
### '浪潮正发生改变' ###
与其说是“缺乏应用程序”这种情况，不如说是“临界的质量不够”的问题，Google+ 博客 Gonzalo Velasco C. 建议说。
比起五年前，现在用 Linux 的人已经越来越多了，他指出；但同时很人都依赖于非 Linux 友好的应用程序。
“虽然每个人都在使用 Skype ，但一大半半的应用程序都是基于 GNU/Linux 协议的，从简单易用的 Pidgin(我的最爱)到 Ekiga 和通用 voIP 等等，” Gonzalo Velasco C. 解释说。“一些用户仍宣称他们需要 PhotoShop，并不想花时间来掌握和改进 GIMP、Inkscape、Bender 及其它的。”
曾经是很缺乏游戏，“但这状况正发生改变，主要是--但并不是唯一--因为 Valve 的勇敢开创 SteamOS 之举，”他增加道。
### '零售货架空间' ###
“我认为这段时期根本就没有‘杀手级’应用程序，”[Robert Pogson][3] 博客上的观点。“在 Debian GNU/Linux 系统上，有 40K 的软件包，虽然我的 PC 只安装了 3K 的东西，但我一样都不缺。我有多个浏览器、编辑器、编译器/解释器、多个操作平台和像 KVM 这样的虚拟机，我可以根据需要在多个操作系统和不同版本的软件中尽情玩乐。”
“在局域网内，我可以把多台机器当做一台机器来使用，” Pogson 增加到。“在局域网内我能从任何机器上访问存储在任意节点的资源。还有什么不能满足的吗？”
"有些说法，“几个专业人士告诉我，在 GNU/Linux 上的视频和图像编辑是有点弱，”他说。 “GIMP 正在比特级别的图像上改进，所以应该不算了。Lightworks（译者注：好莱坞级专业电影编辑软件） 最终会被当做 FLOSS（译者注：自由/开源软件：世界影响研究） 发布，所以视频应该不算。”
"尽管如此，“在 IT 行业中还有特少数的专业功能软件，”他指出。“很多普通用户几十年都不会使用那些极其特殊的应用程序软件，所有我认为 GNU/Linux 系统已经不不需要什么了。”
但是真正的杀手在市场上，在零售商店缺乏货架空间，Pogson 断言到。“只要解决这问题，GNU/Linux 必定蓬勃发展。”
### 'Linux 已经输给 OS X' ###
Chris Travers，一名工作于 [LedgerSMB][5] 的[博主][4]，有不同的观点。
“我认为杀手级应用程序并不是关键问题，”他开始说到。“真正的问题是，虽然跟 BSD 系统一样，Linux 正在占据服务器市场，但在桌面市场 Linux 已经普遍输于 OS X 了。Linux 用户正在寻找开放的桌面系统。”
Linux “既需要微软的增长势头，又需要 OS X 系统的精致用户界面和引人入胜的细节设计，”Travers 说到。“这些迟早会来有的。”
### 文档问题 ###
“Linux 并不是缺少杀手级应用程序” -- "缺少的是一如既往的打磨抛光，" [Hyperlogos][6] 的博主 Martin Espinoza 认为。“根本就没有 Linux 的桌面环境能像 Windows XP 系统那样精雕细琢，更别说是 Windows 7 系统了。”
"除了可以用臃肿复杂的 GNOME 或 [KDE][7] 的色拉一样的小部件，难道还要用拥有极其可怕的文件管理器和非常原始的面板的 Xface 或 LXDE 吗？" Espinoza 增加道。"GNOME 仅仅只是非常接近 DE。真正的 DE 是十分简洁的，还会隐藏他们的存在。"
Windows 也仅仅是“表现的比较好，”他断言说。
不过，如果 Linux 要获得广泛的接受的话，“最缺的正是游戏，”Espinoza 说到。“如果您把它限定到一款应用程序的话，最需要的很可能仍是 Photoshop 。尽管大家都在谈论 GIMP 已经变得多么多么强大，但它的易用性仍然是个悲催的噩梦；虽然开源社区有些相关的文档，但 GIMP 仍是处在缺乏文档的可怜状态。”
"GIMP “也许能做 Photoshop 能做的大部分事情，但我很可能并不知道，”Espinoza 的结论。“我想，如果我花了几个小时逛论坛就可以找出如何使用 GIMP 了。这就是大多数开源软件项目失败的地方，包括那些认为他们是真的是有了足够多的说明文档的。”
### '易用和有技术支持' ###
SoylentNews 的博主 hairyfeet 定义说易用和有技术支持就是 “杀手级应用”。
“嗯，一个新手安装好一个看起来很漂亮的 Linux 发行版系统，它工作得也很正常；但问题是它不会一直正常工作或一直都让人赏心悦目，”他解释到。“第一个更新，哎哟！WPA V2 无线网用不了了。第二个更新呢，像脉冲呕吐一样，声音没了。还有第一个‘升级’？呃，都不需要往下了！”
“这正是 Linux 欠缺而 Windows 和 OS X 已经具有的：易用性及技术支持，”hairyfeet 结束道。“相同的时段有 15 款以上的 Linux 发行版本跟仅仅只是一款 Windows 发行版本所获得的技术支持生命周期能一样吗？不好意思的说，您们的产品不是同一重量级的 -- 您是拿高中棒球赛跟职业联赛在比较。”
### 'Windows 8' ###
最后但并非是不重要的，[Linux Rants][8] 的博主 Mike Stone 提供了一个让人惊讶的建议。
“这些年 Linux 缺乏的杀手级应用是 Windows 8，”Stone 打趣说。
"说真的，我认为并没有一个特定的应用程序可以被称为'杀手级应用'，“他说，”Linux 需要有更多的主流应用的支持，而这将意味着 Photoshop 和微软的 Office 是必须具有的。值得庆幸的是，微软已经做了最大的努力以使 Office 可以跨平台，至于 Photoshop 的话大多数人并不需要的。"
Linux "应该是很争议性的话题，上面我所说的 windows 8 仅仅只是个玩笑，"他总结说。“基于 Linux 的应用程序正如火如荼，而当前的 Windows 系统明显不受欢迎。祈祷我们能很快就看到这一变化。”
