Very true! I mean, sure, maybe Microsoft and Apple win in terms of eye candy elements present in their software, but a bigger effects budget doesn’t fix a bad script - Linux and even Ubuntu are several orders of magnitude more versatile than either Windows or MacOS. And this is just OS-wise, there’s a metric truckload of open source apps which blow the ‘officials’ out of the water entirely!
Humanity is clearly geared toward collaborative survival and evolution, every single genuinely decentralised thing which is not driven by profit feels so much more Real and human than the market-borne alternatives.
Yeah they win purely on marketing be that fud or monopolization of standards like file formats. If it was a fair fight open source would be the standard. I kinda wish there was an org who’s job was to just advertise open source software to regular people all around the world. The best way for people to switch their applications on windows to open source ones then move to Linux after they feel comfortable.
