/prog/ - The open-source software scale

Name: Anonymous 2011-07-17 2:47

0.0 - you unconditionally, absolutely use closed-source software no matter what
1.0 - you prefer closed-source software, but use open-source software sparingly when it's far superior
2.0 - you do not take a preference to either licensing model; simply choosing whichever software is superior
3.0 - you prefer open-source software, but use closed-source software sparingly when it's far superior
4.0 - you unconditionally, absolutely use open-source software no matter what

Who are you, /prog/?
Range [0.0 .. 4.0], decimals allowed if the options are not precise enough.
Example: Richard Stallman is, I believe, a 4.0, as he unwaveringly behaves according to his ideologies.

Who am I, you ask? I think I'm roughly a 3.2 or so -- I pretty much always use open-source software, on my Gentoo box, except for a few things like games and the nvidia blob (which, for my GTX260, works far, far better than nouveau at the moment).

2.7, I don't care, but it's nice to be able to see the source and compile it myself.

2.2, I think it is good to get used to working with both. Open Source is nice sometimes because you can investigate it and find out answers that others might not take the time to address in documentation.

2.8 here

Probably about 2.8 here as well. I use Ubuntu because it's legitimately better than Windows, and some closed-source software like nVidia binary drivers and the vidya gaymes. The lazyness/difficulty in getting a lot of better closed-source software to work in Wine is not worth it though. The open source alternatives are usually good enough.
