After Mozilla is dead.

It makes me sad we didn't collectively agree on using tabs for all indentation so people can set their preferred indentation size in their editors.

That said, consistency trumps philosophy.

When I started, it was only GNUCash as a free option. Never tried anything else. It fits my needs as a family very well.

There's no mobile or web access, and that's fine for me. Updating it is something done once a week or less for me anyway.

I manage mortgage, virtual account for kids allowances, budget for future expenditures, and have a set of reports that I refresh to keep tabs on my money and goals.

You're right, the explicit permission is only the other way around.

I like how you describe the Don't Care licenses, aka permissive licenses. A lot of people fall for the narrative that more strict licenses are a burden for other open source developers, and then regret their decision when Evil Corp does what they usually do.

AGPL and GPL v3 are explicitly compatible, IIRC. You can run into some trouble with v2.

I use GNUCash with the file on a NAS. I've been using GC for over 20 years, I just don't see myself changing soon.

Now that is unfortunate.

Thank you, that's a valid concern.

Reusing your /home is exactly the kind of thing having a separate mount point for it is for. I've done it without issue. Lately i haven't distro hopped, but back in the day, even between distros, but I don't recommend that. Some apps may balk at a config built for a different version, which would require you to find and delete the offending config.

I'm curious as to your experience and what led you to recommend against it.

7zip. Just compress the important files to an external HD. Your c:\users\user and if there's files you saved elsewhere that you don't want to lose, those.

It's got to be dead simple to create and restore. If you do have an incremental backup solution in place, by all means use it. But if not, don't go trying it now.

I don't disagree with you, but Fireship's videos are short and to the point.

I do it all the time. Gparted works like a charm. I always do backups first, but never needed.

Mine worked out of the box on mint. Like, it detected the network HP shitbox and I could print, no user intervention. I was floored.

Nope.

"Welcome to Costco. I love you."

You almost blew my mind out there.

Lots of companies are using open source software, more of them all the time. Most are hoping to save money. The next stated reasons made us chuckle:

• To reduce vendor lock-in
• Open standards and interoperability
• Stable technology with long-term community support
• To reduce development or maintenance costs

Number two sort of makes sense, but as for the rest, yeah, good luck with those.

Why is it risible that using FOSS would reduce vendor lock-in?

Having experienced Flatpak bloat and seeing your posts here, I might just have been converted. The Flatpak integration on my distro is neat though. But I already use Aptitude for most of my package management needs, so I guess adding AM to my toolbox doesn't seem too bad.
