That is the distinction between Open Source and Free (as in Freedom) Software. I prefer the spanish/latin/french term Libre to refer to what you call "truly open source".
Open source is indeed frequently used by big and smaller companies to do what I call OpenWashing. Yes the source code is available somewhere but the licence is so restrictive that it doesn't respect my freedom and thus isn't Libreware / Free Software.
It depends on your local laws I think. I'm pretty sure downloading free copyrighted product from an unauthorized source is still illegal in France for exemple.
The Steam Frame will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon arm CPU with Full SteamOS support, so I guess if Valve goes for it it's good enough and will improve faster.
But I've never installed any Linux distro on an arm device myself.
I think I say that for each iteration of that great graphics but Swiss laws ARE NOT the same as european ones!
You really should label the services based in Switzerland differently than EU (Infomaniak, Proton and Kolab) especially that the laws are evolving and Switzerland might become a worse place than Germany for such services (hopefully not, let's cross our fingers)
Honestly I fined macOS fine feature-wide but the defaults aren't great for me so I tweaked many things and the annoying part of this is that I rely on multiple third party tools for what I consider should be native settings to change.
Maybe I don't remember the defaults on macOS and assume my setup is macOS UX but it's quite tweaked yeah. I find my config closer to Gnome than my memories of Windows. But I agree that Gnome is radially different and that's what I've write in my comment.
Isn't Cosmic based on Gnome? I have to try it, I was hyped when they announced it and now it's realeased.
What about the DE used in ElementaryOS?
ZorinOS Pro has some macOS themes and KDE is heavily flexible to replicate macOS's UX.
