Is this the Linux premium subscription, we were all waiting for? So we get access to a terminal emulator for our money?

I'm all in for paying to fund development but if they wanna make this work, they need to make some "nice to have features" for the premium version, paying monthly for an OS is pretty unconventional
Everything they do is open source, artificially holding back features doesn’t make sense.
if we assume that everyone knows how to compile from source, or use Github then yeah it doesn't make sense
If you're on Linux chances are using a package manager. Do you think the package maintainers won't compile the features(well maybe, Debian)? It still makes no sense as most users would have the feature anyway.
most users would have the feature anyway.
PureOS users won't... unless they pay, ( funny how that works 😆 ) but sure you can find it in other distros for free...
But for now I'm not seeing any feature offerings, just the fact that it'll help support the development..
