As much as I like FOSS it’s significantly harder to fund.

With proprietary you keep the source code, ship the app, collect data & sell it, and charge for a premium /subscription. They then use that money to fund talented devs and give them deadlines to make good software.

With FOSS it’s largely contribution work by people who work on it in their free time. They use donations or paying for enterprise support, and if they do add a subscription service / premium version you can just modify the code and get it for free.

That’s largely why FOSS software is behind, what’s the direct incentive for someone to make it good?

Sounds more like they don’t want any users

Honestly I don’t think there’s a truly good git hosting website right now.

GitLab works if you wanna get away from Micro$oft but the UI is all over the place. Every other alternative either has an infinitely worse UI or charges money to use

Almost every web developer I’ve met tests if their site works in Firefox and other browsers. The problem is when websites (aka Google sites) deliberately design their sites to not work in Firefox to get people to switch to Chrome

If you’re networked with the right people in the US, laws don’t matter

Nova has a monopoly on quality, nothing even comes half close.

However, a decent FOSS launcher is Lawnchair, use the latest builds from github actions, it works fairly well and can allow for basic home screen customization, folder customization and custom icons

I miss the good ol days where inflation was so low, you could pick fruit off a vine/bush/tree and it was free

The trick is to pirate everything first and if it’s good then pay money afterwards to support the creators

Yeah I vaguely heard that from google searching, seems like the other comments agree as well. Thanks for the help
