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...

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

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.

CCrono We're not entitled to support here

Pez•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

ValerieOP•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

Pez•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

Pez•8/12/24, 10:12 PM

ofc not

Pez•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

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

ValerieOP•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?

Pez•8/12/24, 10:13 PM

Ubuntu has money involved, they should entitle their users to support.

ValerieOP•8/12/24, 10:15 PM

Best part about that is that's because RedHat know their users are experienced enough to go looking.

Zorin don't name the software because it seems as if they're targeting new users who don't know any better.
