Comment on “You heard wrong” - users brutually reject Microsoft's "Copilot for work" in Edge and Windows 11

The only real option

There will be mainstream adoption of Open Source Software but you’re dreaming if you think it will remain free. Marketing alone to get the masses to adopt these options will have a cost that people will be paying for.

Free as in “Freedom”. not free as in “Beer”.
Not charging money for your product had NEVER been a requirement in open source. Most people just give out away and get their money from elsewhere because theoretically someone could just download the source code and compile it themselves.

This is the way. I switched from w11 to Ubuntu recently (using it was like breathing fresh air after being in a traffic jam), and today I switched from excel to libre calc and my thought though was like, oh shit, almost every functionality I use regularly is just visible on the toolbars at the top. Neat.
In excel I usually have to fucking web search where functionality is.

I want to switch but everything is such a fucking fight on Linux. I’ve spent probably 5 hours trying to get an FPV radio to work and another 40 minutes just trying to install stepmania. Running into walls everywhere.
