Not if its not absolutely needed to. In example Steam is a pass, or back then when I was using Nvidia cards the proprietary drivers was a must have too. I even have proprietary drivers installed for the gamepad… (and hate myself for it) BigPEmu is “just” another emulator and I can play the Jaguar games on RetroArch already. So yes, I avoid proprietary software by principle, but do make exceptions. I’m not a purist. I’m still curious to how it compares to my current solution.
As a vegetarian, this kind of reminds me of what I’m going through sometimes. Eating out in particular can be annoying, with most meal options in most restaurants containing meat.
Would you eat something where you don’t know whats inside? For me its like going into a Restaurant and they promise you it will taste wonderful, without telling you whats inside, only showing how it looks from outside. Would you eat it? That’s kind of what a proprietary emulator is for me. And I don’t have much to choose from, unlike vegetarian food (you can even make your own food out of the parts you buy). Sometimes I straight up have no other choice than use proprietary software (like Steam for Steam games, even the games are proprietary…).
I understand the nature of your comparison. We are making a compromise and accept that we have less to choose from, for our greater good and goal.
Are you not using a software out of principle if it’s proprietary?
