    The problem is capitalism, not which kernel everything runs. And the reason FOSS isn’t universal is also capitalism.

      It’s more complicated to make money producing FOSS, capitalism or not. Lots of reasonable developers would still choose closed source even without capitalism.

          The premise that we need money to figure out how to allocate resources is foolish

          Money not necessarily, we need to calculate costs (and minimize it) in distributed fashion.

          There’s a bunch of ways to allocate resources but ideas like money have an advantage of allowing people to choose how they live.

          A good example would be that not every person would be satisfied living in an apartment in the city. Some prefer living more rural for any number of reasons. Some want to be inside playing video games and others outside biking on a mountain. Some want to be able to do both. Giving them the ability to choose small apartment in the city or bigger house in the woods is important for happiness.

          The biggest issue is the discrepancy of resource allocation between individuals not the method that allocation is done on paper.

    Probably done in jest, but this reads like the 100,000,000th “agree?” bullshit post on LinkedIn.

        Seconding that, made the switch and nothing broke since(almost 2 months now, o) . Can’t say that for windows tho, where not only auto updates meant I had to wait half an hour to use my PC half of the time or disable them and not be up to date with security, but the OS itself was riddled with problems, sometimes just opening Firefox with a few tabs (like 4 or so) would bsod (and I have 16 gigs of ddr4 ram, so it wasn’t a ram problem) not to mention now that I’m on Mint everything is faster, I didn’t have to pay a license key and I know my OS isn’t trying to fight me for my data.

      Start by exploring Linux Mint or ZorinOS… Both are optimized to feel like Windows… You can watch YouTube videos about them to understand what I mean

    No one would agree on the visual design, and most people would just want an unstyled box because it’s more efficient.
