Say no to centralized platforms altogether. I don’t want to be that person, but things like these are exactly why open-source is (and should be) superior. It’s unfortunate that OSS has had so little traction in the end-user side of things
That's changing, imo. For years, closed source software built by companies was just superior in I'd say 80% of cases (Image editing, DAWs, 3D graphics (remember, blender may be getting up their in age, but it only recently hit parity with other major softwares)
I feel like now I'm using more open source software than not, not out of a personal belief, but because it's actually better now than some of the closed source alternatives (price is not an issue with me, I'm gonna pirate whatever I want to use anyway)
I feel like it's hitting a wider audience, too, nowadays.
