I was disappointed they didn’t actually restrict the app for router devices.

Embrace freedom, change the habits, eat the rich!! /s

They actually did for some people a couple of months ago.

Which is why I prefer NixOS (I use NixOS btw)

AFAIK, you can flash a de-googled version of Android TV on some devices, look up LineageOS’ website.

I hate Windows, but this has never happened neither to me nor my friends. (Granted I only have like 3 friends who use it regularly)

I meant to convey my thought in the context of the person above refusing to switch to Linux because of “re-buying stuff” (they’ve already clarified they were talking about games). I do agree that people of little technological literacy wouldn’t be willing to put in the work to get everything working.

My stance on it is that everything comes down to individual situations. I’ve installed Ubuntu on my mother’s laptop and she’s been nothing but happy about it. I just think we shouldn’t gatekeep FOSS and encourage others to use it. Whether to actually try it or not is always up to the end-user.

Switching an operating system doesn’t come without tinkering. Even reinstalling an existing installation doesn’t. You have to be ready if you are willing to make a switch.

That said, LibreOffice gives you exactly what you would expect from an office suite. And it doesn’t only apply to office apps. Pretty much every field is already filled with FOSS solutions that “just work”.

If treating users like garbage is one of the features I would much rather use less functional software.

I agree, though I think LibreOffice is not a great example as there’s very little room for error and something that you would need “dedicated support” for. That’s how I see it anyway. Never worked in an office.

However, the majority of companies that require using paid proprietary software also require the use of Windows itself. A safe bet in this situation would be to just set up a VM for work and use Linux for everything else.

If a piece of software requires you to re-buy itself for a different platform why would you use such an application? I don’t get why people choose to torture themselves when there are SO many alternatives to literally anything.

Edit: thanks for the clarification on the re-buying part. Doesn’t apply to you then ʘ‿ʘ

Can’t argue much as a Fedora user myself :)

Damn, sounds like a dream.

It’s funny how you completely missed the point. Isn’t it an obvious satire portraying people who pretend to be better just because they use a specific distro?
