No it isn't, I refuted it in my next sentence.
I don't need to, simple market forces make that clear. If you have a free product that is easily available that outcompetes paid products, the market will shift to the free product. If it does not then it isn't outcompeting the competition.
Why would you pay for McDonald's if Smashburger was free?
How naive. Linux is the unsupported underdog here, and will not get more adoption by whining that vendors aren't making drivers for it. The only answer is to roll your own. I explicitly stated that this lack of hardware support is one of the things holding back linux from greater adoption, do you disagree with this? If you agree, then you know drivers must be written. If the manufacturer has no interest in doing it, then who will?
Are you fucking high? I really don't even know how to respond to this. I'm starting to think you are just copy pasting ChatGPT output.
Whining isn't going to raise your ridiculous OS's adoption rating, bro.
You have denied it, not refuted it.
You don't know shit about market forces either, and I'm ancap, LOL.
If a ride to get Smashburger costs more in time and money than McDonalds. Or if I have certain health problems and there's no diet Smashburger, but there's something in McDonalds. Or many other examples.
The first example looks especially fitting if, say, McDonalds got the building with some special municipal permission and Smashburger couldn't just buy something in similarly available place.
You if you need it. Nobody's going to do what you need for you. Adoption is not the only or the primary goal.
You can respond with thanking me on your knees for taking time to explain how you look and not asking if you are fucking high.
I'm not selling anything to you, bro.
Wow, you may want to take a class in rhetoric.
Wrong on the first part, and doesn't matter on the second. Market forces exist regardless of your economic religion.
OOOH YOU ARE SO FUCKING CLOSE! Not that you will ever admit it.
Now apply that to the time and energy that goes into standing up a linux desktop vs windows.
Then I won't be using linux now will I? AND HERE YOU SEE WHERE ELITISM GETS YOUR RIDICULOUS EXCUSE FOR AN OS.
Imagine if you got a phone, but before you could use the soft keyboard you had to write your own driver for it. HOW WELL DO YOU THINK THAT PHONE WOULD SELL?! How do you think people would treat it even if they got it for free?
Elitist shitbag proving my point at the speed of light.
Literally nothing you have written is meaningful or useful, I hereby banish you from my internet forever.
