I get this with Open Source software too. This isn't a slant on the quality., but even when it would be much cheaper and lest time consuming to get the commercial option.. I stick putting the last few screws in of whatever OS solution I'm putting together. I just can't help it, I love that feeling of "I built this". (Even if sometimes it was only configuring a few settings/putting screws in.)
- Fnoord 9y agoYeah, Gentoo would be a great and obvious example of that, as well as BSD ports collection which had to be compiled by yourself back in the days. Or baking your own *.deb or adding your own APT repositories. Building your own Raspberry Pi even though its a guide. Using an iFixit guide to repair hardware even though you're just following a guide. Lego without deviating from the guides. That kind of thing.
