In the FOSS world there is a big cultural difference in that end users are
fine reporting bugs and trying to bring features in if they are not available.

This morning, OpenBSD did not support Nitrokeys. An hour ago it got
experimental support because a bearded guy who smells like a horse decided to
port its reference libraries over.

I do know people who switched to Linux because of certain applications, though.
