All free software is worthless If it wasn't people would

What is RHEL?
What is Canonical?

I don't know, some shitty Linux "companies" struggling to stay afloat without donations?

K.

>all
Plain wrong

Why are street shitters shitposting more than usual?

>>57866251
so tell me OP how many times have you "payed" for software instead of pirating it and wishing it was free?

but people make tons of money out of free software

in fact, if you consider websites (which have javascript on them) as software, then very close to all software that exists is free (and most of it ad-driven))

RH had over 2 billion USD revenue in 2016, with total assets valuated at over 4 bn USD
Canonical had 65 million USD revenue in 2013, which isn't nearly as big, but still not too shabby. Certainly orders of magnitude more than what my company makes (which is all closed-source non-free)

Free is magical word. When there is something like "free" most likely it makes more money than paid shit.

Despite this thread being super bait, I am still gonna mention that Libre office is good and useful. And the reason why they can't make money out of it, is because they know that win cucks like you are conditioned to eat up any shit microshill pushes down your throat

Only free if you time is worthless, and your output is worthless. Especially for traditional desktop computer work, like CAD, graphics, word processing, game development, etc. All the stuff that Linux is useless at.

Surprise! The stuff that its good at is paid by the Linux corps. et al., ie, paid development.

Most javascript when it's delivered to browsers are nonfree derivatives of free libraries.

Isn't "coding" one of the few points you're supposed to concede in order to pretend that you know what you're talking about?

no, he's talking about the negatives only, which is an argument.

and yeah cons outweigh the pros for the 80 percent or more of people.

and yeah every fork of linuxbuntu has pre-blender 2.5 tier UI

>>57866251
Lots of people earn money from free software. Free as in freedom, not as in gratis.

President Narendra Modi and his modernization campaign to give more of them access to computers.

Which ends up in shilling for proprietary shit.

The statement is stupid and worthless, such a nonsense like this could be spoken only by a man who sees a computer the first time in his life.

>he
okay yeah sure bud who is definitely not the same guy

>>57870277

>>57866251
That's not entirely true OP even though often it is.
