No, that is arising out of a misinterpretation on your side. You keep dismissing characterizations of projects as not offering choice just because the system is FLOSS and does tend to have more than one program of the same type. My attempts are at pointing out that *when* there *is* lack of choice, you don't get to pretend it does not exist by pointing to something that is not the level of choice that has been sought. (Honestly, the suggestion that I'd side *against* free software on the quoted matter is laughable. You don't know me or my views, so of course I don't expect you to have an idea of what my opinion would be, but it does sound funny to me nevertheless.) -- Nuno Silva

So having a choice of different applications (and different ways of using them) is interpreted by you as “not offering choice”, and you try to claim that *I* am the one guilty of “misinterpretation”?

It is irrelevant if the issue is the applications themselves not offering choice, or a specific choice. -- Nuno Silva

The GNU project is the core example, as is the > Linux kernel. Was it a “coincidence”? Or was there some inherent compatibility between the two mindsets that made them work well together? But how does this relate to your original claim that Free Software was somehow restricting people’s choices?

Really?? Have you really sunk down to the point where you are accusing Open Source of having some kind of monopoly on computing? Do you even listen to yourself saying that? Big Bad Open Source is now forcing you to do things you don’t want to do? Why not run back to Mama Microsoft and she will kiss it and make it all better for you. You seem to be happier there, with someone to tell you what to do.

I'm not accusing FLOSS of some monopoly, I'm accusing *you* of describing as "choice" something which isn't really choice in practice, or that doesn't really address the issue. Let me explain it again: - Somebody complains because FLOSS DE or GUI toolkit xyz does not allow turning off feature abc. - You say that there is choice because that person can use another DE, another GUI toolkit or nothing at all. - The person still cannot choose to do what they want in that DE or GUI toolkit. And compare it to: - Microsoft is accused in court of having a monopoly, and of taking advantage of it to push other products of theirs. - Microsoft claims they do not have a monopoly because Linux-based systems exist. - Users are still faced with a forced "choice" of Microsoft because of mandated file formats, because of procedures in public services, because of lack of website compatibility, because of shady OEM deals, etc, etc. Those situations are quite similar and that is what I'm alluding to. > Why not run back to Mama Microsoft and she will kiss it and make it all > better for you.

No, the situation is absolutely not similar. The WM/DE provided by default by a distro is only a default. It's very easy to switch from DE/WM to another DE/WM and back to the first one. For Windows, it's not just a default. On a modern computer, it can be almost impossible to remove Windows and put Linux on it. It's locked by Microsoft, so on one owns computer claiming that Linux exist as an alternative is just a lie. -- Si vous avez du temps à perdre : https://scarpet42.gitlab.io

I was wondering what mechanism Stephane thinks Microsoft use to ‘lock’ Windows onto a computer. While it’s certainly possible to create a device that resists unauthorized upgrades, modern PCs aren’t normally it. -- https://www.greenend.org.uk/rjk/

I’ve generally not needed to disable secure boot - most Linux distributions have had signed kernels for a long time now. -- https://www.greenend.org.uk/rjk/

If you must use Windows maintain a separate computer. When so-called Dual-Boot is used and Windows gets a Kernel update which will arrive without any notification it will mess up the UEFI boot patition and erase your Linux choice. Just my limited admittedly experience bears this out as I used to try to maintain Dual-Boot but finally read the explanation a few years back possibly here or in another space. bliss- Dell Precision 7730- PCLOS 2025.07- Linux 6.12.35- Plasma 5.27.11
