Re: [LAD] Forgive me, for I have sinned, or: toss your Macintosh, as fast and wide as you can.

Microsoft and Apple are not the only examples of proprietary software, sir. And proprietary software developer is not necessarily a "corporation". In the end, it should not be a discussion of opinions (I agree with Louigi, I don't agree with Louigi), it should be a discussion with facts and statistics. There are areas of floss vs proprietary where stability and reliability are more or less the same. There are areas where proprietary clearly wins (video editors would be an obvious example). Maybe there are cases where floss is better that proprietary counterparts, although I have not seen a class of such examples. I have reacted to the initial post because a person was claiming that because *a problem* on a Mac happened - that means that everything which is a Mac is now a problem. I have responded that this does not sound very reasonable and that I can talk about *a problem* I had with Linux and apply the same logic. I think this rebuke was appropriate. Making sweeping generalizations about all Macs or about all proprietary software (or about floss, for that matter) based on isolated incidents is not an approach that will deliver an objective overview of the situation in the world of software. And, if I want to be pedantic, the initial post is an off-topic post anyway. It has little to do with LAU or LAD. On Tue, Dec 5, 2017 at 4:13 PM, A. P.
