Open source is good and all that, but we should still treat opensource software like mods. Its good, but we still can't 100% rely on opensource stuff, especially not “10. In short when you get a new comp, delete EVERY piece of commercial software that was bundled with it and immediately install reputable free equivalents.”

On average, the updates and support for opensource stuff is just not as good as Commercial stuff

More than once I was told that since they gave me the source code, i should fix my own problems.

Also, the drivers we use are still proprietary, so its impossible to not use commercial software
