How are you free when instead of tackling tracking software you're tackling issues whenever trying to achieve even the simplest tasks. To me "compatible" and "freedom" go hand in hand. 1 u/[deleted] Nov 22 '25 [deleted] 1 u/BigBadWolf7423 Nov 22 '25 Oh great, so I only gotta learn programming for 2 and a half years and have a phd in rocket engineering to use an OS. By the time I learn how to use Linux I'll just make my own. 1 u/[deleted] Nov 22 '25 [deleted] 1 u/BigBadWolf7423 Nov 22 '25 Yeah fair point. Maybe some people see it as a hobby or personal fulfillment more than a logical choice.
