This is a big problem. Linux is not free, development costs just as much as other platforms
Linux ≠ Linux Desktop
This is a huge problem in the community and the decentralized nature. Like, I dont even know what projects I all use, like curl, ffmpeg, bubblewrap, flatpak, systemd, all these things and again, these are well known projects.
This is a huge funding problem as only GUI apps can ask for funding. Corporations often dont fund small projects, but often just the kernel and Core apps.
Not shaming teenage you of course :D
Idk, I think we talked past each other
