        Oh, agreed. There are definitely people who can live without unfree software. Me, I can’t do without Steam and Lutris.

        The NixOS default config has allowUnfree set to false, so it’s not always opt-in

          That sounds changeable and off by default. So how come you wouldn’t say that is opt-in?

            Unfree apps are not allowed by default. You have to opt in to allow them.

      I love OSS but I won’t sacrifice my experience just to go fully libre. Sometimes it just doesn’t make sense. I’m glad it’s an option for people who do want that though

      I’ll absolutely take FLOSS if I can get it, but failing that, FOSS is still a nice improvement over closed-source software.

          Libre, which is synonymous with free.

          I think it’s more free in some way? I’m not sure, but I think it means free as in doesn’t cost anything. Whereas FOSS means free as in open and modifiable, but the maintainer(s) might still charge for it.
