    at least with standalone software it’s going to work forever as long as the OS supports it. cant say the same for live service software that you can’t run at home

      How much software is standalone these days, though? It seems like most companies are shifting to SaaS.

        as long as you can host the “SaaS” elements yourself (nextcloud, for example) there’s a lot more software than you’d initially think. There will always be a market for self-hosted options for cloud software imo: loads of businesses are reluctant to move their internal infrastructure to the cloud

          Nextcloud isn’t SaaS, unless you’re paying someone else to manage your server. Self-hosting is never SaaS.
