          I didn’t say they’ll succeed. And it’ll only apply to private users, of course.

        Major fear is corruption of the culture. There are corpos and cunts that would benefit from Steam stopping linux suppory which is a major adoption driver. Nvidia is supposedly a more difficult gpu/cpu to use with linux and the current duopoly leans heavily in their favour.

        Not illegal, rather not free. There is an ongoing effort to switch from GPL licencing to more restrictive licensing, allowing corpos to close the source of their distribution. Redhat-IBM is at work. All this camouflaged behind good intentions like rewriting GNU user land and libs in Rust because memory safety.

      The best thing to do is to convert you closest family and friends. If you’re “the computer guy” the chances are you need to support their shitty computers anyway, so you might as well support an OS which is easier to maintain.
