Funny people are willing to leave with just 1 text banner which you can turn off.
Ubuntu is providing so much value on the server end, having predictable LTS release, quite up to date packages, easy to use zfs and solid experience, it seems people's use cases are for hobby only which has many alternatives.
- version_five 4y ago> Funny people are willing to leave with just 1 text banner which you can turn off. I'm not interested in using ad-supported versions of products, period. Especially for work. I don't care what their other redeeming qualities are. Even just dipping their toe into the freemium/nagware world signals to me that they're moving away from shipping a professional grade product (ironic given that's what they're advertising). I don't buy into "what's the big deal" type arguments like the parent post. Same as I'd cancel netflix even if they just showed a 2 second ad before a movie. I want to be a customer, not a vehicle for advertising. The fact that this is an open source software project makes me even more sensitive to it, because I don't want to see OSS become some sort of scam that teases what companies really want to sell you.
- mekster 4y ago> I want to be a customer Bet you're not the type to pay for a product. It's easy to say you want to move on with 1 tiny annoyance, but when you start providing services to people, you'd realize you need to make a life out of it. You also seem to have a very wrong sense of open source definition that they must be free and ad free, but that's just in your free riding mind.
- version_five 4y agoWow, why are you fighting angrily with strangers about this? "My free riding mind?" So we disagree about advertising, no reason to be so angry
