What morality do you derive from creating competing works and throwing them out for free across from where someone is trying to make a living from similar product? -It’s what GPL is all about, and Linus and RMS both live high off the hog instead of living to their commie ideals -the same way communist leaders do.

Sure, some developers find ways to monetize their work, but many don’t and shouldn’t have to. The ones that do are also catering to the competition while pretending to be competition (like Firefox). -As such, they end up playing politics instead of being run like a business.

Gotta love the conspiracy theorist mindset that throws common sense out the window.

LG sells ~22–24 million TVs per year and ~25–35 million monitors per year

-Do we see a problem with that and ‘surveillance’ yet?

VLC is bloated garbage that takes ~5x more space because of the added crap that’s better done by avidemux. Even mpv + avidemux smaller than VLC. MPVs config file seems more reliable than VLC menus that are frustrating AF to navigate (especially when they don’t work).

Yeah, the Linux evangelists and their fake issues are rampant there huh?

I see you’re liar and am leaving the discussion.

Problems are punished on Reddit, stupid ‘I just switched to Mint’ posts rewarded.

You MUST be aware that document editing, CAD, photo editing, video editing, and gaming suck on FOSS. -It’s an objective truth. Your propaganda has been debunked so many times.

I run a Wayland desktop with no issues

Useless anecdote that ignores all the factual issues still present in Wayland.

Mint works well for a lot of people

Mint forums and discussions say it doesn’t for many more.

are very usable on most hardware

I don’t see how fetch, htop, and screenshot make a computer ‘useable’. Useable for reddit karma farming?

It depends, are you someone that thinks 16-year-old Wayland is ready? Or Linux is ready for desktop? How much broken-ness and insecurity is acceptable?
