> No real way to build a skyscraper or produce a state of the art feature film on free software. I don't know much about building skyscrapers, but we neither need "state of the art feature film" nor are incapable of producing perfectly adequate film with the tools currently available as free software. There are also countless feature film and animation tools that run and are used on Linux all the time. Irrespective, I do actually think your viewpoint is valid generally speaking in that FOSS operating systems are inadequate for general purpose computing. They're great for servers or specific tooling, but they suck horse chestnuts if you just want something you can install whatever you want on them and just expect it to work as well as you can on something like macOS or Windows. Those who deny that usually are power users that don't see things from the perspective of the average person who isn't a software engineer or tinkerer. Of course, this is a failing of both the system and society itself. We ought to know better, but we are too lazy and too hooked on convenience to care enough.
