We welcome you to the rabbit hole, friend!

Woo, the best music place in Kaunas! 🤟

It’s not FOSS. Never actually found a FOSS BI tool alternative for the company.

GPL and it’s derivatives are ones of the most zealous of them, yet they allow you to sell the software. FOSS doesn’t require you to give away software for free and it’s a common misconception. Apache for example also allows you to sell the software.

You only lose monopolistic control over it.

Software is often free, because other people can choose to alter the software and redistribute for free.

Free in FOSS means as in freedom, not free as in beer. You can demand pay for foss software. You don’t have to distribute it for free. The only requirement is that you provide source code if asked for and the other person can also you can modify it and redistribute it (for a price or free) if he wants.

I’m quite out of the loop with sync for lemmy, and frankly don’t give a shit. Just please don’t spread disinformatiin on what foss is.

But why should I know it?

I’m guessing you struck a more difficult distro to start with, sorry to hear that. What distro did you try to install?

You don’t have to buy a new pc just to continue using the internet. (Windows 11 forces a PC to have a modern motherboard with TPM, Windows 10 will reach End of Life and the person is fucked when certificates expire) You are not forced to have candy crush automatically installed on your machine. Your search actually can show your files and programs instead of redirecting to bing. Greatly reduced attack surface, since malware can’t go living off the land. Actually faster file transfer over the network. Full telemetry with no possibility to turn it off

The list is a bit random and examples are not that hard to find. Although, almost everything is tuneable and switchable on Windows, which helps it a lot to adapt and reduce pain points mentioned above.

The main actual problem is that it’s a corporation controlled, and they don’t have your interests prioritized.
