  • Obvs it’s about control and money, but it highlights (perhaps badly, but also validly) a need for a mechanism to get funding from profiting entities for open source development, and unfortunately GPL and charity is not it. A well-thought-out license with an expectation of sharing profit from OSS would be a boon for OSS and its (independent) developers. Sure would be nice if FOSS developers got to eat for their trouble (rather than going after yachts). Could be something for the EFF or similar minded, legally aware types to have a chew on, or maybe there are pre-existing works that are not as well known as they should be.

    Simplest way in my experience is distrobox. It will automatically spin up a container (podman or docker depending on your distro) for you with a fresh OS. Go ahead and install whatever without touching your main install, spin one up for each major project and one for scratching around. Instructions only available for Arch or Ubuntu, no problem. One gotcha, make sure they have their own homes, or you’ll get junk in yours…
