Few without deep technical knowledge do even know what FOSS is.



Yes, all they know is “this is impossible to install” and “what is a GitHub” and “where do I log in to the cloud?” and “this is the ugliest software I have ever seen in my life”.

Unless we’re talking about hosted FOSS, in which case you get the worst of both worlds.

I run my own mail server so this comes from a place of love: FOSS for server side products for consumers is a joke.
