      Isn’t FOSS Stallman’s definition? Free open source as opposed to just open source

        Nah, I was reffering to Stallman’s definition of ‘open source’. He gets very mad when you reffer to FOSS as just ‘open source’ instead of ‘free and open source’, even tho almost everyone means FOSS when they say open source. And just for clarification: FOSS is defined by the FSF not by Stallman direct.

      would you recommend me to switch from Windows 11, if I mainly watch series on my laptop from large streaming providers? Are all streaming providers supported?

        I mean you can’t do anything wrong with it, but you should be ready to troubleshoot and look into it.

        I mean how are streaming sites suposed to not work? I don’t know about desktop applications, but a browser does the job, so why use a desktop application that doesn’t even support an adblocker.

        TLDR: You’ll be able to watch your shows, but if you want to use GNU/Linux you should look into it a bit.

        EDIT: If you consider GNU/Linux I’d strongly recommend becoming familiar with the terminal (no matter which distro you choose). Also you should ask for some beginners guide on !linux@lemmy.world or !linux@lemmy.ml
