My comment is about proprietary apps here. The biggest roadblockers with any change to next-gen technologies
Yes, but those proprietary apps provide good features, support and have tons of hours of dev time and continuous updates that the FOSS alternatives can’t just match. We need that software as much as we need FOSS.
with FOSS when someone create a new store or tech, they can be the ones doing ports of common apps,
This isn’t true. Linux was the worst track ever of supporting old software, even worse than Apple. Rewriting applications for the latest version of GNOME doesn’t count as “support older software”, counts only as a pain in the ass that makes Linux unattractive to professionally developed / non FOSS software - after all who wants to constantly spend time updating an app just because the GNOME team decided to reinvent the wheel again to no marginal gain?
There unfortunetly is something to it, like shown by some game developers dropping Linux port when Proton got good enough and just officially supporting the game to work with Proton.
