There are free private, and generally better-working versions of almost every software program. Including, operating systems, social media, email, telephone, etc
In a software ecosystem where almost every program or site you interact with expects some form of steady cash flow in a combination of subscription paywalls, pervasive surveillance, and intrusive ubiquitous ads then I think it does.
Generally? I know there’s a lot of FOSS fanboys here and I am a FOSS fan myself, but let’s not be fanatic and kid ourselves - I wouldn’t say FOSS software is “generally” better working. There are perhaps a few cases where the FOSS version is better, but that’s more the exception than the rule.

Blender 3D, Krita, and Gimp have been the pillars of my creative life. And since last year November I’ve been running Linux.
yeah but gimp is kind of… not great. I’m not sure how I managed to use it as a teenager 20 years ago lol.
How is blender running on Linux for you? I’m keen to swap over & use blender all the time
this doesn’t feel very illegal

What does “free private” means?
I’m puzzled.
It comes with complimentary dicks.
I think it’s a missed comma. ’ free, private’
privacy-respecting
