Have you ever been through the Chunnel?
Not to discourage your plans for a vacation to Alaska but you can have the same effect by sitting in a bus, parked inside a very small garage, with no windows.
Normally I would agree that the journey's as significant as arriving at the destination, but inside the Chunnel you hardly realise you're even moving, and even if you do exit the bus to look out one of the few windows there's nothing to see but your own reflection in the black glass.
FOSS isn't going to make people homeless. It's not a zero sum game. In FOSS everyone wins because it's not not about giving software away gratis, it's about having the freedom to build on the giants that are previously written software.
Soon you will no longer need to continually reinvent the wheel every time you write a new program. Instead you can build upon the work of others. Consequently you will get your work done much faster. Your emplyer will be happy, since they get their product faster and hence cheaper. You'll be availabe to work on other additional things, you won't find yourself sitting on your arse simply because you were able to get your assignment done on 10% of the time, you'll just be 10 times more productive and hence produce 10 times more software.
Would you prefer to go back to the days before the industrial revolution? The FOSS revolution will produce similar productivity gains and it's nothing to fear.
Just use convert with "+antialias" instead of "-antialias". It's counter intuitive but "+" turns off antialiasing while "-", the default, turns antialiasing on.

I just had a look at convert for you and it's a little confusing but to turn off antialiasing you need to use "+antialias". Using convert with "-antialias" actually turns antialiasing on.

Too verbose... FTFY I young. No read books now. Net too fun. IRL boring. Addicted? Problem?
