"We don't need to manage different devices."
"IDPA's best feature is Turbo Boost Technology. The compression and duplication features are excellent, too."

"There isn't much to improve. They just need to follow the trend or the development of other Linux products. Follow in terms of making the product compatible with new versions of Linux. They just need to include as many versions for Linux as possible."
