Fully free distro list

If you know how to source hardware that uses fully-free drivers, they are worth a look.

Guix and Parabola also look interesting.

You probably didn’t even know it’s pronounced Jimp too!!

MATE (prn: MAH-Tay)

because it comes with standard Trisquel and is a smooth DE experience.

My guy, circuit-bending is usually only for music.

That’s what my favourite font uses, behold MULI !

TempleOS is a fever-dream.

The entire OS is released into the Public Domain, so it’s technically more free than Linux, which is quite a feat.

Kind of like the Watts Towers, it’s a one-man curiosity or folly.

That is a horrific outcome.

Free-licence the Argus IP now.

Reject pixel-graphics, install aalib

I remember when Ubuntu was released, and I still have one of the first or second release Ubuntu shipit CDs.

Ubuntu was good at marketing and they were good at making things ‘just work’.

It was often the recommended choice of starter-distro due to hardware compatibility.

I’ve installed and admin’ed Ubuntu on 20 PCs in a small office setting, and it provides a decent user experience.

I would not personally use Ubuntu.

My daily driver now is Trisquel GNU/Linux, which is Ubuntu with all non-free packages(and binary blobs) removed.

If you are at the stage where you know how to source hardware that works with FLOSS-drivers, try out a fully-free FSF approved distro.

Clean, with zero corporate fluff.

Muzei - a free wallpaper changer on f-droid

It has many sources for images, like NASA APOD, masterpieces, NatGeo, Ghibli and others.

Revolution OS(2001) was maybe the earliest documentary about Free Software.

This was great to view at LinuxConf2001, seeing many of the names you’d only read about previously.

Warning: It interviews various people discussed in this thread, but also contains plenty of Stallman being right.

One of the best quotes about Free Software, was how it is essentially using the same principles as Judo, use the opponents momentum against them.

The way Free Software uses full, restrictive copyright to create a permissive, free sharing-based copyright is an excellent example of the technique within many Judo throws.

I can’t remember where this quote was from, and a quick search found nothing. Maybe someone else can pinpoint it.

For a good time, call 1194.

This graffiti was seen, around 1993, in various toilets, referencing the national talking-clock service.

1194 == “On the third tone it will be 3:45 and 30 seconds, beep beep beeep.”
