No proprietary apps are good, I bought Niagara like 9 years ago and I still have my finger on the trigger ready for this one to fuck itself. This happens 100% of the time if the app jyst doesnt straight up die. At this point its brain dead to not use FOSS and just invest your time in learning those programs.
I think its more accurate to say proprietary apps can be good but they inherently carry a risk of turning to shit and there’s nothing you can do about it. Whereas the worst that could happen to you with FOSS is it stops getting updated and eventually stops being interoperable with the rest of the world, depending on what it is
Idk, I never trust a proprietary app. I assume they are always phoning everything home and setup my pihole accordingly. Windows is a great example. Blocked network traffic went down ~20% or so when I moved to linux.
