Switching from pirated Windows to Linux

Main problem with Linux packages

The main disadvantage with Linux packages over windows is the finding and installing of various essential plug-ins. Moreover, the good softwares are being developed for the most popular desktop platform, i.e. Windows. With windows it all comes easy but in Linux packages, although the plug-ins can be updated but there are several drawbacks. Sometimes the repositories are corrupt, you can't find all plug-ins and have trouble in troubleshooting. I tried to completely switch to Linux but there is always some problem.. Like i was able to find .mp3 and .wav plug-ins and get Internet working, but then videos won't play. With another Linux package, i even have video play enabled but Internet not working!. So for now i have both pirated windows and Vector Linux in my PC. I will try to shift to Linux completely once i find the alternatives to all my essential needs in Windows.
