Pianoteq is an award-winning virtual instrument which you can install on your computer (PC/Mac). Applied mathematics FTW! and it sounds absolutely gorgeous.

Drivers aren't accompanied by telemetry software with a company logo.

Open source also means, to a much larger extent, the absence of dark patterns. But that is hardly Linux's fault, although that detail makes little difference to the end user. Of course, the caveat is software availability, which to some extent also includes drivers. It's so much better, it isn't even a contest. The only exception is the operating system itself and gnome, which I find to be miles better than the commercial alternatives.

Free for students, free for everyone to 'jk we just wanted you to invest in learning it') I use FreeCAD, not because it is better than Fusion 360, and not because one is less expensive, but because the latter is owned by a corporation that exploits knowledge investment (i.e. Open source means supporting a collective achievement that is shared by humanity. In fact, it consider free and proprietary to be worse than something I'd pay for, since I assume I'd be the product. However, to me, much more important is the open source nature of things, and not so much that it is free. That's could be part of it, at least for some. There simply is no societal structure in place to pay the people who wrote this stone soup of an OS. How am I supposed to be paying all of the thousands of people who each wrote a little part of my OS? Apple didn't pay all of the people who wrote the free parts of their OS either.

That also has its own few hundred hackers over the decades that should be paid. Oh, Firefox, of course, the OS-within-an-OS. Some GNU hackers wrote each of the coreutils but that was long ago and someone else is maintaining them now. Ah, there's the Mate developers who forked from Gnome 2 long ago and are now mostly doing basic maintenance on that codebase. Hey, I wrote parts of that, so at least my debt there feels paid. I suppose there's all of the Linux hackers who wrote each part of my kernel. Then I think that lots of volunteers wrote Emacs. Looking through my bash history to see what I use most often, I think of the OpenSSH devs wrote ssh. How do you want to pay Chet? I'm not sure he even accepts donations. With subscription business models being more popular/acceptable nowadays, which comes along a requirement to be always-online, such services are more easily available on Linux too.įor example Linux has VSCode, Spotify, 1password, Bitwarden, Obsidian, Slack, Discord, Skype, Typora, Simplenote, Inkdrop, Wordpress, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Signal, Atom, Ghost… It has improved drastically from even just 10 years ago, when almost no popular software/service was available.Īnd that's not mentioning the general shift to using webapps instead of desktop apps (Google Workspace, Office 365, most email services, Jira, Github, Asana…), which obviously makes Linux much more viable. Selling Linux software has always been hard, mainly due to piracy and a widespread aversion to closed-source software within Linux users. People sure like to complain about Electron but it has been very beneficial for Linux desktops. Companies choose Electron to reduce the cost of supporting Windows and Mac, which has the side effect of making Linux supported easily even if the market isn't there. There are more and more paying/professional-quality software that is available on Linux, mainly due to the popularity of Electron and subscriptions:
