Lack of true open cooperation? Oh wait, you said benefit.... Ease of use? Maybe? And slightly less buggy?

Yes, but also... It's true. Browsers are the number one way folks get viruses.

I guess I'd agree. I'm just quite pessimistic and view that almost all people are quite corrupted and checks and balances of a sort reign it in.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say power does corrupt. For almost all of history, any sort of power eventually comes with corruption. Its kinda the human condition. That being said, I do think there are ways of minimizing that corruption and defending against it.

They keep the data to themselves as it is their secret sauce to deliver ads.

I don't think that's entirely true. They won't sell direct data, but through their ad and search systems your ads can drill down to very specific people and thus you know about them. It's still crappy. It's kinda unfair I think to outright say they don't sell your data. You data is their core money maker. It's just in a round about way. Sure maybe it doesn't bother you, but in my opinion, the collection of data is the core problem with modern technology, not even just the internet. Data is extremely powerful and valuable.

I've been using Nix for over a year. And have had a pretty good experience. Then in the last 2 months I've switched to Guix. Its definitely farther behind. But it has such a better tooling story. I really wish folks could see the potential it has and build for it rather than nix because Guix has so much going for it.

The overall experience for both is great. You get declarative configuration and easy rollback. You do need more storage but it's not much worse than windows really.
