HTML is not that bad. I’d still argue that writing HTML e-mails is just a really bad idea. But yes, org has a somewhat cleaner syntax.

HTML is text and org is basically a better Markdown. :-)

+1 for mu4e, really awesome software. There are a few HTML composing tweaks possible, I use org-msg that lets me compose HTML with org. (See my configuration.)

Honestly: Ask the creator of that website. There is no technical reason for this.

Paying developers to do work definitely helps.

The lead developer of GIMP currently receives about €1,200 per month in donations via PayPal, and the entire GIMP project receives even more via LiberaPay. Admittedly, this is not really ‘their paid job’.

But now I’ve had to listen to open source fans for over twenty years saying that open source software shows that you don’t need a lot of money, just a lot of volunteers to do much better work together. I don’t doubt that (for example) Blender is excellent software, donations or not (they didn’t always exist). But why does this concept fail when it comes to image editing software?

If it is “a BSD”, Windows is a BSD too.

GIMP had almost 25 years to be acceptable. It is still awful to use. Serif’s Affinity was awesome within half a decade.

Must be something with free software that just sucks.

macOS is not really BSD. It uses a Mach-like kernel with some of FreeBSD and OpenBSD in its userland. However, given that Linux and some versions of Windows also use BSD code in their network stacks, it should be obvious that “it uses BSD code” is not the same thing as “it is BSD”.

Linux would be nothing without Unix.

Don’t.

Which makes Darwin a system with BSD elements, just like some versions of Windows and all versions of Linux. Windows and Linux aren’t BSDs, I think you agree; neither is Darwin, for the same reason.

The kernel is not BSD. That’s like running GNU software on a BSD kernel: It’s still not a Linux.

Good idea. Try and report back. If it does not work, sorry!

Darwin is not a BSD.

Have you tried feeding them your youngest children?

No one does collaboration as easy as Microsoft

Try Apple.

Linux is super reliable

It depends on what you want to do with it, which version of which component you run and a couple of other things. In my own experience, if you want a “super reliable” system, get OpenBSD. Linux has a severe lack of QA, mainly because of its decoupled nature.

Here’s a list of End-of-Life dates for CentOS Stream which is a rolling release.

Well…
