    Holy moly, the cookie tracker list on that site is longer than my arm! And I hate how deceptive is the “accept all” button - it implies it means "accept all settings, rather than “accept all tracking software”.

    As for the article itself, the author presumes (or is being intentionally deceptive) that FLOSS is unsupported, and completely omits Canonical.

    The only valid reason i agree is “don’t use FLOSS if it doesn’t support your hardware” but that probably means that you’re using highly specific hardware, or are suffering from vendor lock-in and should phase out the proprieatry hardware whenever possible.
