One More Reason I Love the Open Source Community

Not once in all of the years that I have been using Linux (Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Edubuntu, Puppy, etc.) have I encountered a deceptive service. A few times, I've been asked to contribute to the development of a program or distro, but I've never tried to update the software on an important piece of hardware only to find that the manufacturer links to a third party that will run a diagnostic test which then leads to a paywall.

This is why people quit Windows and never look back.
