I like your product, but I tried self-hosting it -- twice over maybe four years -- and both times it just fell apart and destroyed itself in about two months after being set up. Proper configuration and regular upgrades as recommended by documentation, afaict. I'm ready to admit that I'm a complete idiot, but I have never had anything like that with any other product. I have my own theories for why it keeps happening, but not having any proof will keep them to myself...
They don't sell to many countries (mine included) unless you're willing to:
- lose warranty, practically speaking
- pay through the nose for shipping through a middleman
Most companies ignore small markets because they won't sell enough to justify the costs. And it's not just Linux vendors.
Very large brands attract enough interest from Joe six-pack to sustain such import volume that you can go and buy a MacBook or a Lenovo for somewhat reasonable money (still much more expensive than in the US or the EU).
They could stop forcing a windows license down your throat that you basically cannot get rid of and are forced to pay regardless of whether you're going to use it. That would be a logical and good first step. We've been asking this for two decades and have been ignored.
Also, I haven't seen a single seasoned Linux desktop user that cares about the "year of the Linux desktop". It's a meme that's only being repeated by Mac or windows users that "will switch over right away when this particular thing gets fixed", always finding another reason to talk themselves from doing it for basically decades, or well known FOSS haters such as yourself.
