skype user subject to forced and damaging upgrades

??? I use skype and don't understand what you mean by that

having adverts on one's desktop

not a thing for macOS

not being able to copy and play media to appropriate devices because of DRM

Spotify Premium is cheap, who gives a shit?
torrents are even less convenient than streaming nowadays

Free software community does not entirely meet modern needs

understatement of the century

not made to be forced upgraded

yeah, because old versions of software with compatibility or security issues are great, lack of updates is a good thing!!! lol if anything you're taking the wrong approach for making a case for FOSS because package managers and free updates are a good thing, not a bad thing -- quit being autistic and thinking outdated versions of software are somehow better

broadly exempt from a class of security issues

dude do you even read about CVEs? lmao yeah FOSS security is perfect

intentional and persisted backdoors by developers

you don't need proprietary software to have a backdoor
it can be as innocuous as an ``accidental'' security issue
>many other kinds of security issues are manage by the community
shellshock was a thing for decades before it got discovered and fixed
DECADES
shut the fuck up
you know how many people probably got APTed as a result of that? you think the person who publicly disclosed it was really the first person to find out about it? yeah right

wide adoption of Free operating systems is an ongoing effort.

almost nobody uses desktop linux, and android is spyware, even if it is based on linux

we're always trying to resolve and improve them

GIMP looks the same as it did a decade ago
the linux desktop environment UX is about the same too
it's becoming increasingly irrelevant in an era where there's more to computing than desktop operating systems with like a 2003 model of usability

face it: FOSS is good in theory, but falls short in reality
