Ah, yes, the insult retort.

I'm convinced, let's packup and go home boys, we don been told.

Please allow me to retort: You have no idea what it means to manage even an SMB, let alone an Enterprise with thousands of machines.

Tell me, Sir Open Source, what CAD options are there in the OSS world that competes with Catia or Autodesk and their management servers?

Show me a cost analysis for a 10 user SMB to switch them from Windows to Linux, and the ROI before they return to running in the black. Don't forget to include the lost productivity and the retraining costs.

Now, how about a Linux box that can run CNC hardware... I'll wait.

No insult was intended.

I have no expectation to convince anyone of anything, no matter how I try to go about it.

Not "open source" but software freedom. It's open source but with a moral component.

Indeed I have no idea about that and, if you care about that, perhaps someone else can help you with specifics.
