But won't most users of those OSs just use the proprietary software
provided by the manufacturers of the devices? I can see real
advantages to using the argyll programs even in those contexts, but I
suspect that is only because of my previous experience with Linux.
I hope you won't abandon Linux because, for people like me, argyll is
currently the only game in town.
