How can you make claims on a software and its developers that is free? With paid software I can understand that, but with OSS? In my opinion, many users do not see the difference between commercially driven OSS and those created by volunteers in their spare time. Projects like Linux, Kubernetes, Ceph or OpenOffice, to name a few, are supported by vendors who have a commercial interest and have paid developers working on these projects for this purpose. Such projects have naturally set the bar pretty high for users. It is clear that many users then apply this bar to other OSS projects. However, users should not forget how open source works and where it comes from. In most cases, OSS is driven by enthusiastic developers in their spare time and made available to the community for free.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few days ago I received another email which made me wonder what is going on with some Open-Source-Software (OSS) users. &#8230; Try fresh install as I described to you and do your job and fix this ridiculous bug.
