Duh. Of course open source is not a business model. With businesses it's about the bottom dollar no matter what the damage is to mankind. Open source is about making the world a better place. The open source movement is a philosophical belief that is not necessarily tied to software, but a way of thinking.

Does this mean I need to stop using NixOS for a business project? If it goes belly up in production I will be totally screwed.

Please, NixOS management and staff, resolve this mess.

Let's keep NixOS great.

It just makes no sense that businesses constantly duplicate research. Let me use cancer research as an example. If the research on cancer was placed in a git repository then I believe that we would have conquered it by now. Greed sucks!

nice job! been using Linux for twenty+ years and haven't heard of some of these.

keepassxc. there is a version for android named keepassdx available on fdroid. a version is supposedly available for Mac and windows.

You want to use a type 1 hypervisor such as kvm. This gives you direct access to your hardware and is very close to the efficiency of bar metal. Look up KVM, libvirt, ovmf, and qemu. After installation, you can install Windows on it.
