@maija @icedquinn @meeper nothing beats capital and profit motive to belt out functional software fast, actual concentration on a defined goal will result in something resembling a real product. that is why you have proprietary specialized kernels from as far back as the 1980s that got work done. libre is political, we should be able to see and modify code but the libre process is slower and relies on some rando caring about a feature to get it. unless you're an entrenched libre project with corporate backing
