Why is open source software used on computers? Let's consider some possible reasons.
(1) The first reason is that open-source software is free of charge. In 95%, this is the case. Sometimes it also requires payment, but the authorization is not so strict. Then it can save you a lot of money.
(2) another factor that people often ignore is that you can see the source code of open source software. This is a good news for those who want to optimize their software.
(3) You can fix bugs to help open-source software. (Of course, it must comply with the authorized permission)
(4) Open-source software has more features than the corresponding commercial software.
As mentioned above, let's start to enjoy open-source software and save more money. I will provide some options for open source software. There may be other options. If you have different options, please point out.
