I subscribe to the philosophy that information should be free, and that computing should be a collaborative effort, driven by community. The world is better when we all work together to improve it.
These days, I’m less gung-ho about the technical merits of free software; I just prefer using systems that feel like they’re trying to work for me rather than exploit me.
Haven’t those issues been found in pre-release software that’s months out from being pushed to the general public?
Permissive licenses also allow corporations to build off of open source software without contributing anything back to public. I don’t see why they’re entitled to profit off the free labor of a community they don’t contribute back to.
Been a while since I used it, but I thought XBPS was pretty neat. I contributed a couple packages to the repos, and the recipe system did most of the lifting for me.
Yeah, the only real issue I have with the “rewrite it in Rust” approach is the absolute plague of permissive licensing. It is much easier to write safe, correct code in Rust.
So, this isn’t really an answer to your post, but I felt it important to bring this up. I’ve bought a lot of games on GOG and don’t plan to be giving them any more money in the future. Just wanted to give you a heads up.
Biggest benefit to Fedora over Ubuntu would be more up-to-date packages. Debian-based distros tend to run much older versions of everything. Fedora brings you closer to upstream releases.
