Ha, I'm showing my age. You're right, my brain is still at "Linux around the year 2000."
That being said, it's still the same problem.
And I think that's why I find it odd that I haven't heard the argument more plainly stated like:
"Oh look -- right around when Linux became mainstream, it began to get worse in precisely the same ways proprietary stuff was already bad. Probably a result of more business involvement, but how can we counter it."
- logicprog 2y agoSetting aside dogmatic complaints ahout failing to adhere to the purity tests of a hokey old religion from the seventies, in what way is Linux actually worse? Also, assuming you're referring to it getting worse in the usual ways *nix grognards like to complain about, how is any of that "in the same ways proprietary stuff is bad"? If anything Windows for instance leans even more heavily on backwards compatibility than old Linux, not less.
