Could you run your entire life stack on open source?
What closed source stuff could you not live without?

ive moved from oss to personal software, mostly private.
Games, I mean I could probably live without them if I really had to, but I do like playing some AAA games every now and then. And Spotify's Discovery algorithm is pretty sick. I have definitely found handfuls of artists that I like that have turned into album sales and ticket sales for the artists due to their Discovery algorithm.

Iโm guessing that lots of people run their own nas, dns, adblocker; not many people run their own vpn; not one human in the world runs their own email server ๐๐๐ maybe FIPS, nostr, auth-blossom-inbox-reply-outbox-pizzazz fixes all that but I donโt think anyone has fully streamlined and idiot-proofed it yet because Iโm retarded and donโt get any of it.

Unfortunately here in Italy ๐ฎ๐น 99% of people run on closed sourced software. They love their cage. As long they have their beach vacations in August and soccer everyday they love their Italian super comfort zone ๐ฑ๐ฅ
Iโd probably have to vote No. I like open source and try to use it where I can, but I still depend on some closed source tools in daily life. For me the hardest ones to replace would probably be Windows, some hardware drivers, a few productivity tools and certain services that simply work better in the ecosystems I already use. I could move a lot of my stack to open source, but running my entire digital life that way would still require too many compromises.
