And? I was responding to extremely overstated "open source projects will always provide a lower quality than comerical ones"
Even if Linux would be worse for 99% of people who are less IT-centered than me then it would be still counterexample for "always".
Open source project can be for 5 person worldwide without monetization plan. And beat commercial software for that people.
If someone wants to make claim "for average person it is typical that..." then make it, but this hyperbole was clearly false.
- deltaonefour 5y agoMy point is my point. Linux is generally inferior to windows from a usability standpoint. We can get rid of the word always if you want. Nobody cares for such semantics. Generalities exist and clearly that's what most people mean when they talk about this. Linux is generally much worse from a usability standpoint than windows. Your post made a claim Linux was the better OS, but not only is Linux not always better, it's not even generally better.
