Not hating on open source, just let people use what fits their expectations and needs and stop deterring them with gatekeeping :P

UX = user experience

Thank you. Exactly what is happening and why I'm so exhausted. Feels like the stupid Mac vs Windows debates back in the day, with the even more annoying Linux users.

    Yes exactly!

    Or Commodore 64 vs Apple //e vs IBM PC. Unix System V vs BSD vs VAX/VMS. Gawd. I'm long past those days.

    I'm a Linux user. Hopefully not too annoying lol. Also a Mac and Windows user. Because they're tools and I find 'em useful for different things.

    I would be very, very surprised if the people getting bent out of shape about an app charging money and/or displaying ads use a flip phone or Linux/bsd phone and no closed source anything. (Car? Network router? Fridge? Television? Seriously? There's closed source firmware in so many things...)

    If I am wrong I will eat crow but... Also how? That seems like unhinged religious zealotry.

    I don't care for loss of privacy and big corps fucking everyone. But hey I run pihole and ublock. It's not perfect but I have too many other far more important priorities, like friends, family, enjoying life, work, etc. to go all jihad against all closed source software.

    I remember being all absolutist and dogmatic in my thinking when I was in my 20s. I gained perspective and chilled in the last 30 years.
