    I mean more in the consumer space, like with word processors, file hosting, and other apps/services

      I use OpenOffice and Libre Office on the regular at work.
      Sorry, but Word is way way more advanced than both. Both in ease of use and extended feature set.

      I’m not sure there’s much of a consumer market for those products. At least not in the self-operated and self-hosted way you might be thinking. I feel like way too many of us here have major blinders on in the way non-experts or non-hobbyists approach a vast majority of technology and technology adjacent subjects.

      Speaking as if I were a layman, why would I download and install a word processor when I can just login to gdocs and have it there?

      And in regards to enterprise, you’d be hard pressed to find any tech crew willing to stake their career on open source, user facing tools that don’t have a robust support structure in place.

      Costa money to do all that though. That’s the challenge. Bring able to fund development while still being open

      Gamepass. Get me a solution to that and I’m moving right now.

      I tried the cloud app and it demanded I use a controller and not kb/mouse

        Quick question: is steam being extremely slow in inplementing a competitive product to gamepass (I assume they should since recurring revenue and all) or am I on the wrong track?

          I haven’t heard of anything from steam that resembles a subscription service.

        OpenOffice? No way… please use/recommend LibreOffice instead as OO is merely on lifesupport now.

        Yeah but things like OpenOffice aren’t nearly as popular as Word and the like
