Unfortunately some things are just built to break within a relatively short time. Manufacturers like to claim that planned obsolescence doesn't exist but it absolutely does.

If something is already broken there is no excuse to not give it at least a try. There are a lot of instructions on the internet for fixing common problems.

Bruce Perens is working on something related with the Post-Open license.

Its Lunduke, a self-proclaimed a-political tech journalist. You can pretty much disregard anything that spews from his mouth.

Its not so bad, there is Jellyfin, the various arr applications ( Radarr, Sonarr...), ShareX, Duplicati, and a lot of libs. It might not be as active as C , Python or Rust but I think saying that there is no real FOSS movement is a bit unfair.

A self-hosted sourcehut instance might be what you are looking for.

I think even a relaunch with only the first campaign at the start could revitalize the community. I'd wager there are plenty of people who would want to relive the glory days of Guild Wars 1.

There seems to be a market for classic mmorpgs. I wonder why Guild Wars didn't already receive the Wow Classic treatment.

I switched from Windows to Kinoite last year because it seemed to be the one distro that actually cared about stability. The first distro I used was Ubuntu 7.04 and until Kinoite I always viewed the Linux desktop as a bit of a joke because it always broke every other update. Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, it didn't matter which distro I tried, after a few months something broke. I don't tolerate this on my primary computer so I always switched back to Windows. This is the first time I have ever used a Linux distribution where I can run an major update without worrying if I still have a GUI after the next reboot. So I consider immutable distros a huge success. I don't think I would still be using Linux without them.
