What was your gateway product to open source?

beehaw.org/post/7529080

beehaw.orgWhat was your gateway product to open source? - BeehawI want to talk about our gateway products to open source. You know, that one product or software that made us go, “Whoa, this is amazing!” and got us hooked on the world of open source. What made you to jump ships? Was it the “free” side of things like qBittorrent? Did you even know that some of your programs are open source before you got into the topic? For me those products were: - Android - Firefox - VLC - Calibre Am thinking to order some merch and I wanna make it more accessible to people unfamilliar with open source culture. Now, am looking for fairly normalized but still underrepresented product – maybe it could serve as a conversation starter and push some people to open source

Linux Mint. I was trying to edit a video and was struggling to get anything to work properly in windows. I was frustrated and looking for solutions on YouTube when I came across Mental Outlaws channel somehow. The rest is history.

@NumbersCanBeFun @graphito I distro shopped as well. Red hat, then Gentoo (5 years), then Debian (10 years) now arch (4 years). Each time there was an unavoidable reason forcing the change. Hopefully i never have to change from Arch again...
