  • No. Foss Software is peak Capitalism.

    Socialism means a central bureau decides what is needed and worked on

    Meanwhile Capitalism is a System of decentralization

    Foss Software isn’t being centrally ordered because someone higher up decides it is needed. First the need arises and then the “Market” (The Developers out there) create a Solution to fullfill this need.

    This Market, this pool of Developers is decentralized in smaller Groups. And that’s good that way. I don’t want someone to decide which Software gets developed. Not some CEO and definitely not some Bureaucrat.

    I mean, the F in FOSS allows decentralized usage and a lot of People in the FOSS-Community prefer decentralized Solutions



  • Just know: it takes time and effort to learn. The Documentation is often not that good and you’ll go digging in blogs, Forums and Github Issues.

    All in all i’d say i’ve spent probably more Time learning Nixos than i’ve spent learning Linux. Which, admittedly wasn’t much as i started recently with fedora which has gotten really beginner-friendly, but still. I’d say i spent at least all in all 20 hours learning how to fix a fringe Problem in Nixos.

    Most of that time was wasted on useless fringe stuff you’d probably never want to do, but there’s also some rather normal stuff in there: i remember that my SWAP wasn’t decrypring correctly from LUKS, which wasn’t really bad or anything, it just annoyed me that it didn’t work, and i spent about 40 Minutes debugging that.

    For me it was totally worth it. I would do it again in a Heartbeat. However, if you have a full-time Job and a Family, maybe you should just get a Fedora Workstation Laptop. Or a Macbook even.
