This is one of those things where you really gotta do some research instead of just going by the deliberately misleading headline.

Red Hat subscribers can access and even share the code.

Nope. I’m using a Dell Optiplex 990 that my uncle no longer wanted.

What do you mean by “ph”?

Well, at least it won’t get you in trouble at work or otherwise around others.

Mac users play games? On their Macs?

Yeah, I was.

I just looked it up and you’re right. I think I just got confused because I had read about Motorola and Asus both having quality control issues.

Right, but how many of those applications are limited to a single platform? Conversely, how many of them are commonly used?

Also, in addition to there being more than one FOSS application of a particular type, there are dozens of Linux distributions, window managers, and desktop environments. And this is with Linux usage being as low as it is. What is it, like 2%? Don't get me wrong, I love Linux and I've been using it in place of macOS for seven years. However, I do think there is at least some consolidation which could and should occur.

I was referring to the days when the Catholic Church kept the Bible in Latin and hunted down anyone who had a copy of it in a local language, burned their Bible, strangled them to death and then burned their dead body at the stake to intimidate the public. I was also referring to the fact that Catholic masses were conducted in Latin until the 1980's.
