Hear hear. Yes practically if you need to run a workload on a closed source system or if that’s your only option to get the performance then you have to do what you have to do. But in the long run open source wins because once an open source alternative exists it is just the better option.
As a bonus, with open source platforms you are much less subject to whims of company licensing. If tomorrow Nvidia decided to change their licensing strategy and pricing, how many here will be affected by it? OSS doesn’t do that. And even if the project goes in a random direction you don’t like, someone likely forks it to keep going in the right direction (see pfsense/opnsense).
