when i started using computer i jumped to linux ecosystem in a month, and have been using it primarily until very recently

i personally dont feel good using things that are not opensource, yeah i use closed source softwares but i try to limit them

I don’t have a problem with using open source software, I run NixOS with Sway and tmux and Vim and Typst and a million other FOSS things.

I just don’t feel like directly contributing to helping a corporation make money without being paid. I have a finite amount of time on this planet, I don’t need to provide unpaid labor to make Mark Zuckerberg richer.
