[ubuntu-studio-devel] Elementary OS

Those who expect paid service quality are probably better off paying
for it. On the other hand, Windows 10 is so malicious they will need
to pay for 3ed party tech support to stop the spying.

Maybe direct them to a known good Ubuntu or Mint LTS, then to paid
apps that run on it and have paid tech support?  When you use free 
software you are not paying people to staff call centers and provide
24-7 support. You need to bring your own browser, fire up Startpage
or DuckDuckgo, and look for the solution yourself.

When I got dissatisfied with every desktop in existance, instead of 
complaining I started hacking, now some of my work on MATE might
be going to GIT master.

A free community is based on mutual exchange. With things that have
a zero reproduction cost a lot of free riders is fine, but you get out of
free software what you put into it.
