You get a perpetual fallback license even if you stop payin, which is what I was referring to. It’s pretty much functionally equivalent to what Unraid is proposing here. You pay for a first year, get a license to use that version, then need to pay again to get an additional of updates.

They have all the right in the world to do so, but I have a lot of trouble with them insisting that this is “not a subscription”. Let’s call a spade a spade. It’s a subscription to get updates, with a perpetual fallback license. The only difference with JetBrains’ model, which offers the same for their IDEs (which everyone calls subscriptions, themselves included), is that Unraid still offer a lifetime tier on top. But the lower tiers absolutely are subscriptions. If it was really a “version upgrade” thing, they’d tie the payment to major versions, not a time period. It’s a time based payment in which you get something in exchange during the payment period, therefore, a subscription. The word may have connotations for them to want to avoid it so much, I won’t pretend it’s not what it is…
Otherwise, for what I actually use Unraid for, they just put themselves out of my price range and it probably won’t be my next NAS’ OS. Outside the “use any disk size” RAID-like solution, there isn’t much keeping me on the OS, and I guess I can deal with setting up MergeFS/Snapraid…
KDE6 took a week or so, didn’t it?
I mean, tone does have to do with how you use a language 🗣️ and symbols to communicate, and the emojis in the middle ➡️❎⬅️ of sentences and how many there are in relation to the amount of sentences 💬 do make it kind of read like a copypasta ©️🍝
I’m genuinely curious what you consider to be the “Arch experience”, other than pacman.
Papyrus or bust
The non proportional font on terminal 🤌
Eh, they just don’t pre-build and publish the image themselves. Why assume malice? 🤷♂️
Btw, Fossil isn’t really a wiki software but a full on source control system a la git, with its own front end, that includes a wiki. It’s developed and used by the SQLite developers. It’s a single executable, so it’s pretty easy to run anywhere already, I assume they may just provide the Dockerfile for convenience…
They don’t? They even ship a Dockerfile, the prebuilt image is just not published on a registry
Ok, I laughed
You completely missed the point.
You’re using a statistic that literally tracks web views to justify your view that Linux users that just use it for work by browsing the web don’t really count. You say this despite them having counted as Windows users on their work machines, using the same metric, since forever before they had to use Linux.
I get your point, but if it’s just about semantics, why would they be so defensive about it not being one?
