@Laberpferd @mdhughes yeah, #QNX was used quite a lot in the early 90s as an #OS for appliances like the #iOpener...

Sadly it's #CCSS so whilst it does work for some I can't really built upon it unless I'd also want to make a #commercial #ClosedSource solution.

Not to mention #Linux is really trivial to port, cross-compile and comes with all the drivers I could ever need...

#FLOSS on the other hand can be done in a way that just works and respects both users' human rights to privacy as well as getting stellar support and documentation that goes beyond what #CCSS offers...

The cold hard truth is that #FLOSS is inherently more secure than #CCSS and by it's very nature, #vulnerabilities are easier found and fixed - usually way before any #malware in the wild exists that #exploits it.

#Apple at least has an #OS worth the #suffering!
Nobody buy #MacBooks for #Specs - that's just a lie by #Fanboys.
People buy it because #macOS is the least-painful option to use #creative #CCSS like the stuff that #Adobe, #Avid, #BlackmagicDesign and mamy more produce.
It's literally called #finalcutOS for a reason, because that shit works - just like #accessibility does: Nobody can touch Apple's macOS & #iOS on that front!

1415 followers · 100130 posts · Server mstdn.socialWhen we look at #GoogleChrome and other #CCSS like #Windows and #MicrosoftOffice or even #Zoom the correct reaction to horrible #ToS is simple:
Refuse to use them in lieu of #FLOSS alternatives.
Espechally since there is no legal mandate to use then!

@libreoffice @avon_deer @aetus yeah, that"s because #Oracle basically gave the original devs the middle finger and they hard-forked #OpenOffice to #LibreOffice.
And then Oracle made it basically #Abandonware so it ended up at the Apache Foundation...
Similar to #Sibelius vs. #Dorico but both are #CCSS and don't share any codebase whatsoever!

But personally I think that #Proton / #Wine / #DXVK should be transitional mechanisms and not be turned into a perpetual crutch...
Not that I dislike it per-se but #glibc is the reason most #CCSS (incl. #Games) doesn't get #native|ly-running #ports!

So for any #CCSS that isn't locked to a specific #LTS #Distro and -Version if not Hardware (i.e. #Linux Version of #Autodesk #Maya required proof of eligible System [i.e. HP z-Series] & Supported OS [Subscription] [i.e. #RedHat #RHEL Workstation 5.0]) before you can even purchase any #License the most stable #APIs are those supported by #Proton (#Wine + #DXVK)...
AND i wished this wasn't the case and we'd not have to rely on #Win32 / #Win64 #Userland to get shit done.

#Glibc is the major preventor of #Linux becoming the norm since #GNU literally brick shit with minor updates, and the #FSF outright ignores the the fact that #CCSS exist and not everything is #FLOSS and that people should not have to recompile their stuff!
Otherwise everything that has been touched or associated with #RMS / #Stallman is tainted and him being reinstated will continue to damage #FreeSoftware for years to come.

That's why #Proton (#Wine + #DXVK) are seen as "necessary" (not even evil at all) mechanisms so people can even do basic #Gaming on #Linux, because #glibc prevents people from playing old #native Linux games that ain't FLOSS'd!

There's a reason Distros like #AlpineLinux, #ChimeraLinux and almost all #embedded systems using #Busybox or #Toybox want to get rid of #glibc if not replace it with something like #uClinux, #musl,or another #libc...
Because glibc bricking stuff with minor updates kills any #CCSS and any non-#FLOSS that can't be recompiled.
And what RMS et. al. may see as intentional, I think is the biggest issie that prevents #Linux from dominating #Desktop|s!
