I see comments on posts such these very often where people complain about opensource products like Linux phones, Linux itself, or pretty much anything else, not being as good as their proprietary, funded, and profits driven alternatives. How are such projects supposed to compete without money and full-time developers? Especially when people are unwilling to donate to them "because they just aren't there yet", how do they expect the projects to quickly get to a point where they are boob friendly and usable?
People will disparage groups that try to make something with barely any funding and time. There are so many negative comments about the PinePhone, Phosh, PostMarketOS, and so on. It's disappointing to have such a community.
As soon as an opensource project asks for funds, integrates a question for funds in their software, uses a restrictive license or something like a business source license, someone will complain about it on social media and blow up the maintainers' repository and socials. Why are we so averse to opensource contributors earning a living writing opensource?
If people don't want to fund opensource (or "source available") until "it's ready" and resist any attempt to make money from it, how it the model supposed to succeed in being an alternative for the majority?
Sorry for the rant, but why can't we as a community be more active in supporting our opensource contributors instead just waiting for the apples to fall into our and their laps?
What are some FOSS projects that are already boob friendly?
Edit: I guess my attempt at trying to humorously highlight the typo failed lol
Thank you all for your genuine responses though <3
Nyanarch, or so I've heard
ShareX, Thunderbird, Firefox, Linux Mint
I'm not a fan of this characterisation of the level of accessibility, but the single largest accessible example of Linux is Android.
After that, most modern TVs run some form of Linux, then there's embedded Linux in routers and network attached storage devices. IoT hardware is mostly running Linux too, as are most websites and databases for that matter.
In other words, Linux is a hidden operating system that pretty much runs the world without most people ever thinking about it.
If that's not accessible, then I don't know what is.
