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...

PezOP•8/12/24, 10:02 PM

this is INSANE

PezOP•8/12/24, 10:02 PM

what the fuck lmao

PPez what the fuck lmao

Valerie•8/12/24, 10:02 PM

The UX is probably crazy good tho

Valerie•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...

Valerie•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

PezOP•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

PezOP•8/12/24, 10:05 PM

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

PezOP•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

Valerie•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.

PezOP•8/12/24, 10:05 PM

still a grift lmao

Valerie•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 ...

PezOP•8/12/24, 10:07 PM

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

Valerie•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...

Valerie•8/12/24, 10:08 PM

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

PezOP•8/12/24, 10:08 PM

LOL

PezOP•8/12/24, 10:08 PM

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

Valerie•8/12/24, 10:09 PM

That MIGHT be the worst part

PezOP•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

Valerie•8/12/24, 10:09 PM

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

PezOP•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

Valerie•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

PezOP•8/12/24, 10:10 PM

the irony that you are saying this in #

bazzite of all channels

PezOP•8/12/24, 10:10 PM

is not lost on me

Valerie•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

Valerie•8/12/24, 10:11 PM

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

CCrono We're not entitled to support here

PezOP•8/12/24, 10:12 PM

you actually kind of are if they want anybody to use ublue lmfao

CCrono We're not entitled to support here

Valerie•8/12/24, 10:12 PM

The license doesn't entitle you to support either.

Games Joyce•8/12/24, 10:12 PM

thats like the oldest debate in FOSS lol

PezOP•8/12/24, 10:12 PM

LOL

Games Joyce•8/12/24, 10:12 PM

are users of FOSS entitled to support

Games Joyce•8/12/24, 10:12 PM

I'd argue, yes, but they shouldn't act entitled

PezOP•8/12/24, 10:12 PM

ofc not

PezOP•8/12/24, 10:13 PM

but it's a completely different game when you want to move in and start charging the uninformed for their time

PPez but it's a completely different game when you want to move in and start charging...

Crono•8/12/24, 10:13 PM

You know there are people that value their time, right?

Games Joyce•8/12/24, 10:13 PM

isn't that why like redhat exists

Valerie•8/12/24, 10:13 PM

I think big companies are entitled to support their users. I don't think Kyle should be held accountable for if Bazzite archived all of it's repos tomorrow.

It's a passion project, if the passion is gone the project won't exist either.

Games Joyce•8/12/24, 10:13 PM

how is any of that different to redhat, beyond the scale

CCrono You know there are people that value their time, right?

PezOP•8/12/24, 10:13 PM

yes, that's literally why i assume we're all in the #

bazzite channel my dude

VValerie I think big companies are entitled to support their users. I don't think Kyle sh...

Kyle Gospo•8/12/24, 10:14 PM

I don't think Kyle should be held accountable for if Bazzite archived all of it's repos tomorrow

Good news is when I get sick of you people nothing is stopping someone else from picking it up. It's free and open and always will be
