Probably better to think of spending their money on an open ecosystem, instead of just using something for “free”. If software products have sufficient funding they can better improve the products and can continue to exist - without some form of monetisation most wouldn’t still be around.

somedev@aussie.zoneto Technology@lemmy.world•A new 3-D display lets you reach in and touch virtual objectsEnglish4·2 months agoBetamax
It was Ubuntu 14.10 (still had Unity) installed on a Mac mini to run a Plex server. I actually really liked Ubuntu then, it was all new and very different to Windows. I had it hooked up to a TV and used the DE to maintain it I.e console, update app etc.
There was this really annoying error that would occur every time it would boot which drove me to look elsewhere. Ended up trying Arch and didn’t put a DE on there because I started to get comfortable with the terminal and SSHing in.
I eventually installed Arch on my desktop and dual booted for a couple years using XFCE. Once I discovered KDE there was no going back.
I haven’t used Windows on any of devices for years, all running Fedora and KDE.
Remmina for Remote Desktop, awesome piece of software.
Yep, have completely lost interest now. Asking users to pay is one thing, but then going to closed source… That’s a no from me dawg

somedev@aussie.zoneto Technology@lemmy.world•Sonos CEO behind disastrous app exits with $1.9 million severanceEnglish9·5 months agoAs a Sonos user, yea - I hate the new app. The biggest annoyance is how long it takes to start up, because I don’t have an IR TV remote I need to use the app to change the volume (or stand up and use the volume control on the side).
Playing heaps of Kingdom Come: Deliverance at the moment, I have one set to toggle Up and B for autorun, and another to take a screenshot. I’m sure I’ll find more uses the longer I have it.
Worked immediately for me. Had to type in Microsoft account details and it went through all good. Plays pretty well.

I think both can be true. I just mean if we’re talking about a company paying for Microsoft Office vs LibreOffice.
