Nothing fair about "Fair Source". That doesn't exist. It's just an excuse / attempt to ride the good vibes of FLOSS.
Being "open" is good marketing nowadays so companies love to climb onboard, especially if they can prevent from actually being open.
Free/Libre Open Source Software all the way.
It's 2024, and I use my Linux Mint laptop day after day, week after week, month after month without a bug or care. It "just works" for me. This "boringness" is something I deeply appreciate.
For the longest time before this final-feeling long-awaited "made it" state (on my laptop), there was always some irritation, some compromise, some papercut that would spur me to distro-hop every 9-ish months or so.
Now I don't _really_ care what a distro is, as I finally feel settled. Laptop? Linux Mint. Raspberry Pi? Raspberry Pi OS. And a VPS in the cloud? Debian.
