  • Torrenting has existed for a long time, yet people still buy software. There is a lot more to software distribution than traditional product sale.

    You want to have frequent fixes, compatibility with modern tools, new features and a trustworthy distribution pipeline. These are all things people and corps are willing to pay for in FOSS software.

  • It makes just as much sense if you're selling it!

  • Any review that doesn't begin and end with "its a great phone, but it's 4x the price of last years budget model and only provides a modest improvement" is just an advertiment

  • "And warned that they better not do it again before authorizing another shipment of munitions"

  • Which do you prefer:

  • FOSS is my personality and Arch is my distro

  • now start using it for a while and you will notice the difference!

    you will see you have all of the latest versions of programs, that other distros wont have for 6 months!

    you will learn that the AUR has every package you could ever want!

    you will see that the Wiki has extremely comprehensive answers to every question!

  • 100% its the Wiki and AUR!

    On every other distro, once you want a program not in the package manager, it will likely be broken by the next update. On arch 99.995% of the time it will be in AUR and you can just make a simple PKGBUILD when its not, so your updates will automatically recompile all of your personal projects!

  • I'm assuming the speculative-execution bugs were their fault then
