You could easily take controversial of all time by going, “Linux is overrated”

What is FOSS?

[–] Aquatic_Melon@lemmy.world 18 points 9 months ago

Free open source software

It Stands for: fully open source software As far as I know. And it describes software which is with all its components open source. But as this memes suggests there is an ongoing debate on how heigh the standards have to be in order to call something foss

[–] Knusper@feddit.de 19 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Nah, FOSS stands for "free and open-source software". There was a time before paid software was a thing, so the "free" there stands for freedom.

In a lot of ways, it means the same as open-source (access to source code and allowed to modify+redistribute it), but it's more idealistic and political, looking to prevent software from restricting what users can do.
