People with different definitions were constantly bickering on whether it qualifies as open source. It might as well for all I care.
But it’s not free and open source with that restrictive license. The word free doesn’t refer to the price tag.
It’s not foss, unless they’ve changed the ‘temporary licence’ yet.
E: It is an awesome project and I really hope it takes off, but this isn’t the best place to post it.
I don’t know what printer you have, but I’ve had the exact opposite experience. I don’t remember how I eventually got it working, but printing on windows was a lot more effort than transferring the files to mac or linux, which just worked out of the box.
It’s been like that for some other miscellaneous devices like a playstation 3 controller and this old usb floppy drive I once needed.
For example it avoids dealing with consumer ISP, has separation from my home network and better uptime.
Any web service. I have lemmy and email on rented servers.
A separate OS for writing is such a weird niche project that I doubt anyone else done something like that. Not exactly a live CD solution, but I recommend using a normal general purpose distro, such as Fedora and installing any programs you need on it.
That’s some good improvements you have there. Great work, and thank you.
