@alyx >is if I could burn the sketch right after receiving it.
Imagine hating freedom this much - think about the correct thing that needs to burn to make the better place.

>The more I've used open source
Good thing GNU is free software, not "open source degeneracy".

>instead of actually getting stuff done.
Imagine mentally blocking out the massive floating GNU/Island of freedom that is there with lots of stuff done; https://www.gnu.org/software/

>ecosystem feels like it's hold together by Linus Torvalds and a bunch of scotch tape
An ecosystem is something that is already there and you just observe.

The GNUsystem is held together by the solid rock of GNU, no matter how hard proprietary slavery lovers (like Linus) try to tear it apart.

>If scientists discover some form of immortality within the next two decades, the only reasonable thing this community should do is pull all their money together to buy it for Linus
Linus barely programs anymore - what he mostly does now is just review commits.

Linus already has enough money to afford any future actually working life-extension treatment, as he gets a huge yearly salary in exchange for only enforcing his license against freedom.

@j >Yeah but closed source is worse. Linux got good just in time to suck.
The kernel, Linux is proprietary software, as it contains proprietary software without source code, which makes it "closed source".

GNU/Linux-libre's main goal is to respect the users freedom, not to be functionally the best, although it was functionally better than windows decades ago and keeps getting better.
