if i want it the Apple and Microsoft way i just install Windows
or go out an buy a Mac - i am using Linux because it is *not*
Windows and *not *OSX*

speaking of freedom and freedom of choice and then come with
restrictions here and there is somehow strange

you hardly can call "i do not show an app because i do not like
the icon" a good user expierience - where do you draw the line?

that may end in "there is no app for what i current need to do
and so i can't use that operating system at all" while the app
was there but someone decided to hide it
