If you do, please be sure to donate (time or money) to the open source projects to help better them! This is how open source can exceed commercial software. At the very worst case, if the projects tumble there's always a possibility to "fork" as an insurance policy.
- vz8 6y agoWe do, and thanks for mentioning it, it's worth bringing up. We donate to various projects: on Github, FSF, EFF, direct to a developers, and even Patreon in one case. Autodesk had our money for a while, then we moved to use and support Blender and never looked back. ... we even bought a license to WinRAR, I kid you not.

- vz8 6y agoOn our devices with Windows, we use the built-in tools, 7-zip and WinRAR (on a single workstation). Mentioning WinRAR was a bit of a joke.
