Making people pay for free products, especially £48 is shitty.

Zorin might be good, but this is like actually scummy.

Pez•8/12/24, 9:59 PM

literally why are they not just selling support

Pez•8/12/24, 9:59 PM

or is it like i said

Pez•8/12/24, 10:00 PM

and they need to have three layers of irony on top of everything they do and wrap it up with support for anybody to take that seriously

Pez•8/12/24, 10:00 PM

like yeah i guess you would want support for this but normally when you come across a new distro it's the last thing on your mind

ValerieOP•8/12/24, 10:00 PM

1. GNOME Extensions
2. FOSS Apps
3. Probably more FOSS apps
4. Sure? I guess? Use google images idk

Pez•8/12/24, 10:00 PM

it's not like this isn't offered elsewhere in a way that doesn't insult my bloodline

Crono•8/12/24, 10:01 PM

You're paying for the packaging and support, essentially. It's kind of similar to RHEL's proposition, but for desktop.

ValerieOP•8/12/24, 10:01 PM

OH MY GOD, YOU NEED TO PAY PER-RELEASE

ValerieOP•8/12/24, 10:01 PM

Pez•8/12/24, 10:01 PM

they literally make ubuntu pro look good my man

ValerieOP•8/12/24, 10:01 PM

Zorin OS 18 Pro will need to be purchased separately when it will be released in the future. We will continue to support Zorin OS 17 with software updates until at least June 2027, and you will be able to use Zorin OS 17 Pro for life.

Pez•8/12/24, 10:01 PM

they are selling me an ubuntu pro licence

ValerieOP•8/12/24, 10:02 PM

That's CRAZY

Pez•8/12/24, 10:02 PM

indirectly

ValerieOP•8/12/24, 10:02 PM

They don't even make the base distro

Noctis•8/12/24, 10:02 PM

Is there a way/app to tweak color saturation on Kde?

VValerie ```Zorin OS 18 Pro will need to be purchased separately when it will be released...

Pez•8/12/24, 10:02 PM

this is INSANE

Pez•8/12/24, 10:02 PM

what the fuck lmao

PPez what the fuck lmao

ValerieOP•8/12/24, 10:02 PM

The UX is probably crazy good tho

ValerieOP•8/12/24, 10:02 PM

think about it

PPez indirectly

Crono•8/12/24, 10:02 PM

That's FOSS, everyone gets to benefit from everybody's work

VValerie ```Zorin OS 18 Pro will need to be purchased separately when it will be released...

ValerieOP•8/12/24, 10:03 PM

I wonder how much this actually sells

VValerie The UX is probably crazy good tho

Crono•8/12/24, 10:04 PM

The whole Linux space certainly needs players doing this kind of work

CCrono That's FOSS, everyone gets to benefit from everybody's work

Pez•8/12/24, 10:04 PM

what

Crono•8/12/24, 10:04 PM

People who are in the know pay for it to support the project, people who aren't in the know might be interested in the customer support

Crono•8/12/24, 10:05 PM

It's not some grand grift

Pez•8/12/24, 10:05 PM

how is it a good thing that zorin's own marketing is selling me on ubuntu pro

Pez•8/12/24, 10:05 PM

it's just a regular grift

CCrono The whole Linux space certainly needs players doing this kind of work

ValerieOP•8/12/24, 10:05 PM

GNOME, KDE, Cinnamon, Budgie, Cosmic and MANY more do that.

Ubuntu with different GNOME extensions charging £48 per release is not doing that.

Pez•8/12/24, 10:05 PM

still a grift lmao

ValerieOP•8/12/24, 10:06 PM

I'm sure the free version of Zorin is fine, but the proposition for Zorin Pro is actually crazy.

Crono•8/12/24, 10:07 PM

Then don't buy it, lol

VValerie I'm sure the free version of Zorin is *fine,* but the proposition for Zorin Pro ...

Pez•8/12/24, 10:07 PM

try the free version and tell me how quickly it makes you want to pay for support

ValerieOP•8/12/24, 10:08 PM

I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's literally all free stuff (Although I haven't looked into the different layouts or wallpapers) or it can at least all be near-enough recreated with FOSS software.

Making people, especially new or uneducated people, think that this is a unique thing that you offer is really shitty...

ValerieOP•8/12/24, 10:08 PM

Fuck it I'm not testing Cosmic on the T420 anymore

Pez•8/12/24, 10:08 PM

LOL

Pez•8/12/24, 10:08 PM

also their licencing scheme where you have to pay again for major upgrades is bullshit

ValerieOP•8/12/24, 10:09 PM

That MIGHT be the worst part

Pez•8/12/24, 10:09 PM

am i seriously to trust that these guys will even be around to support the old version in 2027

ValerieOP•8/12/24, 10:09 PM

It's like the playtron proposition, but for regular ass people

Pez•8/12/24, 10:09 PM

oh shit

VValerie I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's literally all free stuff (Although I ...

Crono•8/12/24, 10:10 PM

Why not install Arch and do the whole setup?

PPez oh shit

ValerieOP•8/12/24, 10:10 PM

I said "like that" no it's exactly that, they advertise it as that

Crono•8/12/24, 10:10 PM

Convenience, someone will have to do the work

Pez•8/12/24, 10:10 PM

the irony that you are saying this in #

bazzite of all channels

Pez•8/12/24, 10:10 PM

is not lost on me

ValerieOP•8/12/24, 10:10 PM

It's almost like... people will do that, for free?

Crono•8/12/24, 10:11 PM

Voluntary work vs. paying for a licence is a completely different proposition

Crono•8/12/24, 10:11 PM

We're not entitled to support here

ValerieOP•8/12/24, 10:11 PM

Here, pay me £20 and I'll make your GNOME look like ChromeOS too.

Zorin OS 18 Pro will need to be purchased separately when it will be released in the future. We will continue to support Zorin OS 17 with software updates until at least June 2027, and you will be able to use Zorin OS 17 Pro for life.
