Most open source adepts are practical, but most would prefer a tad of less perfect of free open source then perfect closed source.
For me, the main computer needs to be stable, the rest is for messing about with. I’m glad I found open source solutions for most issues. (apart from breaking open Android devices)
Man, I’m just here because I found spez’s reaction to criticism both sad and so disgustingly corporatist that I didn’t want to interact with his product anymore. But I don’t have strong opinions on that sort of thing. My internet usage is mostly just killing time between work and real life tasks. Mostly early morning while I’m just waiting for my Adderall to kick in and for it to get late enough in the morning to get started on stuff. This internet space is not a significant part of my life. But I do want my time here to be enjoyable and the weird way that people on here make subjective choices a major part of their personality and get aggressive to outsiders can be off-putting. I’m clearly not alone in this. A lot of people just want a place to casually read some interesting stuff on the internet without constantly being preached to about the moral necessity of specific computer environments everywhere you go. Enjoying it as a hobby or whatever is fine, but like, chill guys. There isn’t some Linux Hell we’ll end up in if we don’t convert before we all die.
Same, when you’re so dead set against open source, why not stay at the commercial solutions?
It’a not about being against open source, it’s about putting practicality over ideals. Some software simply isn’t there yet.
