Few decades ago Marvin the Paranoid Android (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) has already been constructed by my human-like parents and is reporting this utmost depressive fact here.

    Pocketbook Lux 5. Great piece of gear, with physical buttons and normal, non-touch screen. Also, comes from a small European company, instead of Amazon.
    I manage my collection of ebooks using Calibre - great software.

    This. I'm totally for FOSS, but among four commercial apps that I use (SublimeText, SublimeMerge, Reaper and Bitwig), all four use this older model. You buy a period of free upgrades, but you may keep using the current version as long, as you wish. I see this model as beneficial for user and the company (providing them with money), but also encouraging it economically to continue developing the product. In the case of subscription-based model, I see little reason for the company to improve the product.

    My personal list is short:

    1. Debian (Testing) - evertything works OOTB. Great performance. Stable. Plenty of current packages. Works on my workstation, laptop, RPi.
    2. FreeBSD ;) - if you really want an alternative.
