VLC may go down as the greatest FOSS product in history. They've stated their mission since the beginning and 20 years later, are still flying that route. It's unbelievable how much money they've turned down to remain on their original mission.

I would day Linux is probably the greatest piece of foss software tbh

Sure, I concede. I don't think of Linux because I don't use it often, but I understand.

I think the thing is u don't realise ur using Linux often. For u to send that message it probably went through multiple routers switches servers and other devices that run Linux in some capacity.
