You understand why we don't help with non-free software/drivers on this forum
right? We're not doing it to be mean ... we're doing it because we care
about others.
Sometimes we assume that people understand why free vs non-free matters.
If you use proprietary software, your computer could be informing on you. One
problem with proprietary software is that users cannot know what it does,
beyond what's superficial.
The company that made it may assure you it respects privacy. You could take
their word for it. Or you could use free software.
Free software is about certain freedoms; not price. Part of what it means to
be free is that users can get full disclosure of the instructions that make
up the program. This requirement for transparency means that people can audit
it, and alert others to intrusive features.
There are other reasons. If you want, we'll gladly link you to a written
explanation or a video of someone talking about it.
