> Many from linux crowd are slightly paranoid
Slightly? There are quite a few tin foil hat comments on this submission.
Well, it's all relative and depends on perception.
I tried to briefly explain a typical i-own-my-computer mindset regarding the linux monetization question from the parent comment.
I can pay for cool stuff I can trust, but the "I can trust" part is very tricky.
You call it paranoia, I call it zero tolerance for enshitification.
It's like the Nazi bar problem. You need to be vigilant to prevent the thing you rely on becoming yet another platform for Microsoft to exfil your personal data to NSA servers.
