    Technically linux users need third party tools to even boot into a usable OS.

        Thats why you have RedHat, SUSE, Canonical etc. Legal entities that offer warranty for that random bundle. Insurance that issues will be fixed.

        Because if you are just “a racoon digging for free code” you have nothing to request from anyone.

      difference is you dont need a third party tool to change the thing, if you’re unhappy with the thing, you change the thing out itself, you are not stuck with it.

      Yes but we get to choose the bloat we want. Windows uses need bloat to cover up the native bloat.
