Personally I would love to switch to OSS tomorrow, but I still see many showstoppers:
- Desktop: Linux vs. Windows - worse support for gaming (e.g. anti-cheat), no support for major creative software like Photoshop/Affinity or Ableton/FL Studio
- Mobile: FOSS Android distro vs. Google Android - no guarantee that apps I currently use will work without Gapps, no paid apps or in-app purchases
I have really been thinking a lot about this in the past months, because I would like to improve my privacy. The only real play seems to be moving to Apple's ecosystem, and buying a console for the games (and paying a lot more and losing customizability and repairability in the process).
