This is definitely true, and I think there are at least two points worth considering here.
- Part of what makes the mainstream OS terrible is the mere fact that it is mainstream. If Linux hit 60-70% adoption, a plague of terrible software, adware, malware, and more would start degrading its quality.
- Despite the points above, it would be really nice if some of the lousy things pointed out the in the graphic were deprecated.
Free Software licenses typically say basically “I’m giving you this for free, so you take it as it is, no promises.” You get the guarantees that you pay for.
But nobody would write some of the absolute schlock they get over in proprietary-land if they didn’t think they could dupe unwitting consumers into paying for it.
