I dont use a single closed software and I am doing pretty well.
Linux or GNU/Linux or open source or free software is used in invisible computing systems. I think I am right on this. Ask me again if you don't get it.
Maybe it is invisible to you. As are the innards of a car to a driver. what has the invisible tech in computing (or cars, or anything else) got to do with users?
For me the engineering behind the super simple and great interface of Google.com or the internet connection that I am using is a engineering which I am blind to. And should I care.
EVERYTHING. A dumb buyer is easily gyped of his money. Like the M$ users buying loads of mostly rubbish addons like office and antivirus.
If a user wishes to throw his money after knowing the facts, that is his choice and god speed to him. Otoh if he parts with his money without knowing the facts, he is dumb.
It amuses me no end that people pay good money to trap themselves.
I agree and I disagree.
