  1. The software just isn't there for Linux. Commercialization can have beneficial effects on productivity. That's just reality. When companies charge money then they have financial resources and motivation that the open source community simply lacks.

  2.  @lorduggae  the whole PC market has changed over the years. The casual users gave up on PCs for mobile devices. They were the ones that bought low and middle end machines in huge quantities. With them gone manufacturers have no reason to keep producing that kind of hardware. There's no one to buy it today. There's still corporate but that's a different world.

  3. There's no more budget PCs available really. I remember when you could build a new PC for just a few hundred dollars. Today that'll barely get you a budget graphics card. Although I suppose you could run integrated graphics.

  5.  @Dummigame  the best devs are well compensated. They can get stock options. They retire young with millions.

  6.  @Dummigame  no one ever said they were buying stock. Employees in major corporations can get stock options as part of their compensation.

  7.  @keithc2390  unfortunately the next PC I want will be Win 11 capable. Everything from 8th gen up is compatible.
