Sounds good on paper, but in reality you still need to pay the insane licensing fees if you need a usable product. It's like Android, I can download the source code and run it as long as I don't need extra features like a dialer a

What is so difficult in setting up and integrating GitHub with Jira for example, last time I did it, it was a few clicks? GitHub also has mediocre issue management and a wiki and we have GitHub Actions as well. You still need to integrate y

KDE 4 looked like a cheap Vista knockoff gone wrong and the widgets were worse than useless, I stopped using KDE altogether because I felt the developers completely lost the plot. One of the most arrogant moves was to not have files on the

React Native is very unreliable and unproductive, you write your code in JavaScript, that then gets executed in a VM, that then calls some glue code that may or may not work reliably, when these don't work: good luck debugging it. Reac

If we just counted the kernel, then it is possible that Minix could be the most popular "OS" because it's burnt into every Intel CPU, however it's probably not a helpful metric. If we equate Android with Linux, we can al
