Revenue is a useless metric. What’s the profit?

Or they could offer annual subscriptions?

LunaTask

I joke. Apple has gotten a lot better about giving options in recent years.

securely exchange information

Uh-huh, and who is in charge of what information is exchanged? The AI?

Link is dead

I am not exaggerating one bit:

Wish I could believe you but I honestly don’t believe anyone who says this anymore.

Options? Apple? Seems unlikely…

Try Yunohost

Nextcloud?

I have no idea how but they auto-renewed mine as well. If I wasn’t the type of person to pay close attention to my finances I wouldn’t have noticed.

That’s being said, it was very easy to cancel and refund the purchase.

I was by no means suggesting using Discord instead. Just from a purely practical perspective, it is very different.

It’s very different. Discord has “channels” and “categories” to organize discussions.

it’s a direct drive steering wheel

Yeah, probably none of that is going to work without lots of tinkering.

I also run a Quest2 for VR through Virtual Desktop

VR is also notoriously problematic in Linux.

Would a dual boot be viable until I can be sure everything is working?

Not really necessary, that’s what live boot disks are for (basically booting from a USB drive). To test if things work.

Why publicly criticize a distro based on a guess that its users are unwilling to use what it offers?

Because expecting users to manually add shit after the fact to make the OS functional is dumb.

I don’t know what that is.

Having a public chat group inevitably devolves into an endless waterfall of messages. I dunno how you do it. I can barely stand being a group with 5 people.

BTW

I agree. However, I will say, in my experience, if you want to use it exclusively as a gaming PC and exclusively with Steam, and without any sim peripherals, and without some competitive online multiplayer games, it works extremely well, and without any hassle.

I had the same problem but it worked out of the box with Mint.

this is the exact thing Microsoft would do and why people would choose onlyoffice instead.

Because they’re not Microsoft? And they’re not malicious liars?
