  • Linux has a problem with distribution of binaries, and companies for profit doesn’t want to share source … and packages with only binaries have some dependencies problem… although Flatpak and Snap improved this A LOT…. But then would have GLPv3 in many dependencies and you cannot ship it with a “for profit” product.

    This is the biggest hurdle for Linux “for profit” market for better apps. Also many Linux users are against the paid model, preferring open source. There is a cultural limitation to break the bubble

    I think SteamOS is helping a lot to break this … but still Linux desktop need to have a cultural change specially on license model or binary stability to be able to have a better app availability


  • I don’t know. I understand some good devs are paying the price, but…

    Here in US apps are allowed to external links. Before I was opening and app, subscribing and canceling in the seam month if I wanted

    Now DAZN (sport streaming) is forcing users to give 30 days notice. So if you use for a day. You need to pay 2 months.

    I would prefer to pay 30% more than 100% more to use DAZN for a single month.
