Well… it at least indicates that most people here don't use a free OS (even if we exclude Windows), and don't care much about free software. (Permissive licences however are loved, mostly because they allow proprietary derivative works.)
We used to talk about Windows/Linux for portability topics (conveniently ignoring BSD and others, I reckon). Somehow, Apple took over much of Linux's mindshare. And not just here. Many of my coworkers are asking for apple laptops. A huge fraction of keynote presenters use an apple laptop.
All that is a bit sad, considering Apple is even worse than Microsoft, freedom wise. They popularised the digital prison, that was originally confined mostly to game consoles. I'll never forgive that, no matter how much they contribute to open source.
- oever 8y agoI for one think software freedom is very important.
