Do you actually think the sense of security and freedom compensate for all the disadvantages in open source software?

If you asked this 10 years ago I'd no.

But since you ask it today when literally every proprietary crap is AT LEAST spyware through their (((anonymous usage statistics))) and (((Customer Experience Improvement Programs))) with news of backdoors and total ass tier DRM left and right I say yes. Free software getting better and better is a big plus too.

/thread

So you'd trade lack of features and potential crashes for a 1% overall decrease in performance about 5 minutes every month??

yes
the issues and disadvantages in FLOSS usually come from an utter lack of money and developer time which can be fixed

FSF and the like are more secure and has more freedom than any other type of software. The end. You can't even begin to argue it. Proprietary software don't even hide their data collection anymore, they realized after snowden they don't need to hide it, people don't care.

What has lack of features? Most things I use have more features and customizability. That's why people don't like it. Normies can't into decision making.
Every software has crashes. regardless of it's license.

open source software is usually better than the alternatives for anything that matters

>can be fixed
Money and developer time is about 90% of the task of a project leader.
Not what I'm asking. I'm asking if some whooptie-doo anonymous data is a big enough threat for personal security that you'd go full sour grapes on proprietary sotware.

>anything that matters
Sure, if your bubble world consists of compiling small C programs.

It is, look at google. They were once a "wooptie-do anonymous data"

And? I've never encountered problems with telemetry. It's just data. Literally.
How the hell does telemetry get in the way of your workflow?
What are you hiding?

>What are you hiding
weird porn
right wing opinions

Ugh get normal for fucks sakes.

>and
I answered your question, stop asking more

fpbp

>What are you hiding?
Anime

So when push comes to shove, the best excuse for using free software is an irrational fear of anonymous (!) data collection?
Has there been a single person arrested over such anonymous data, a single password stolen that way?

not an argument.

>things that never happened
ALright lad

photoshop users are the worst people

>everyone who doesn't agree with me is the worst people

As well as cryptography and anything server- or network-related, including web servers, DBMS, mail servers, DNS, firewalls, VM management, containerization etc. Anything that powers most if not all the services you use on a daily basis

Cool beans but enterprise and videogame servers run on windows.

>Cool beans but enterprise and videogame servers run on windows.
Firstly, that doesn't have to mean they're not running open source software, secondly those servers are certainly not the majority.

>not the majority
Literally are the vast majority in enterprise and videogames. Linux is only good enough to handle a small website or two.

Remind me again, which web server is the most common? Certainly not IIS, maybe nginx?
Remind me again, which DNS server is the de-facto industry standard? Certainly not MS DNS Server, maybe it's BIND9?

More so than the lack of security or freedom compensate for the shittiness of Microshit Shitdows

You have a hard time reading statistics? Enterprise runs on windows

Point me to some statistics of yours then.
