I’m just imagining someone on lemmy.world going on a long, profanity-filled rant, and people on lemmy.ml having no idea what they’re talking about.
I’ve always thought of it this way: permissive licenses ensure freedom for developers. Copyleft licenses ensure freedom for end-users.
Trisquel GNU/Linux is an Ubuntu fork that is famous for having no proprietary software whatsoever*. It’s the distro that Richard Stallman uses.
Trisquel uses a modified version of the Linux kernel that is completely devoid of binary blobs. However, as a side effect, some things like WiFi may not work, so you’ll have to buy an FSF-certified USB dongle, or use Ethernet.
*Of course, there’s nothing stopping you from installing closed-source software on Trisquel (but why would you want to do that?). And Debian by default ships with 100% FLOSS.
Ah, I remember Zorin. It was my first distro. I eventually moved on to Debian and Trisquel, though.
This is an excellent starting point for new converts, but if you want a more “Windows-esque” experience, I’d recommend Kubuntu or KDE Neon (Plasma is the most Windows-like DE in my opinion).
Btw, “cryptobro” is a sexist term that excludes women.
We can start calling them “cryptoclowns”.
LOL, you should have DYOR and used a cold wallet. You clearly don’t understand the complexities of Bitcoin, have fun staying poor!

I agree. The Breeze theme is so good that I’ve never felt the need to customize Plasma.
I must say, that is an excellent Firefox theme.
Enjoy your DRM-free coffee, friend!
It’s gotten numerous improvements and MS Office compatibility has gotten much better.
Well, not really. It’s a very limited version that can only read documents, not edit.
Was.
Some people STILL haven’t gotten their Librem phones after 5 years, and the few that have weren’t impressed by the phone’s quality, both on the hardware and software side. Purism has also refused to hand out refunds, and the CEO has been acting suspicious.
Right now, you’d be better off buying a Google Pixel and installing GrapheneOS.
I thought you meant “point of sale”.
This article is an example of the “appeal to novelty” fallacy. “It’s newer, therefore it MUST be better.”
GNU/Linux is the more technically accurate term, but in practice, most people say “Linux” so that others know what they’re talking about.
And the reason for Tux is because Linus Torvalds was once bitten by a penguin.
It’s more of an alternative to Microsoft Office, but it is mostly considered THE open source office suite for GNU/Linux.
For something cloud-based, you may want to consider OnlyOffice. I’ve never used it, so I can’t say how good it is.
Time to ban all computing devices.
My impression is that they both have a respect for each other, although they don’t necessarily like each other.
