Hell to the no. They should have camped on less valuable real estate if they wanted it exclusively. I use .local for every host on my local network and I will never stop.
In debian 12 I just change this:
hosts: files resolve [!UNAVAIL=return] dns
to this:
hosts: files dns resolve [!UNAVAIL=return]
in /etc/nsswitch.conf, and everything acts just fine.

- globular-toast 3y agoIt's so convenient having a standard for mDNS, though. If someone brings a laptop or tablet or something it won't just work on your network. Why do you even care what your local domain is? Set your search path correctly and you never even type it. .home.arpa is arguably a better choice anyway.
