Welcome to libre

A comm dedicated to the fight for free software with an anti-capitalist perspective.

The struggle for libre computing cannot be disentangled from other forms of socialist reform. One must be willing to reject proprietary software as fiercely as they would reject capitalism. Luckily, we are not alone.

Resources

Free Software, Free Society provides an excellent primer in the origins and theory around free software and the GNU Project, the pioneers of the Free Software Movement.
Switch to GNU/Linux! If you're still using Windows in $CURRENT_YEAR, flock to Linux Mint!; Apple Silicon users will want to check out Asahi Linux.
Social Media Recommendations:

The Linux Experiment: Weekly news host for Linux/libre software related news.
Nicco Loves Linux: Developer for KDE who makes interesting videos.
David Revoy: An incredible artist with a cool webcomic, all done with GNU/Linux.
Michael Horn: Makes videos about his various experiences with Linux.

Rules

Be on topic: Posts should be about free software and other hacktivst struggles. Topics about general tech news should be in the technology comm or programming comm.
Avoid using misleading terms/speading misinformation: Here's a great article about what those words are. In short, try to avoid parroting common Techbro lingo and topics.
Avoid being confrontational: People are in different stages of liberating their computing, focus on informing rather than accusing. Debatebro nonsense is not tolerated.
All site-wide rules still apply

I deleted my only copy of Windows and reinstalled OpenBSD on my big PC. It's way better in almost every respect but I miss video games lol. I'll probably install Linux somewhere and boot that to play video games eventually but games on your native operating system are pretty convenient

Edit: thanks for all your recs, I am crashing from caffeine rn and have to log off lol, will check them all later

              mindustry: RTS with production lines. It's got a bit of a learning curve.
hyperrogue: roguelike that takes place in the hyperbolic plane. It's more fun to not research how it works and just hit play: you die if a monster touches you, but the game will not let you make a losing move, so you only lose when you're "checkmated".

Mindustry is great, I honestly don't think it has that big of a learning curve if you play the campaign. Each level introduces a minimal amount of new mechanics.

Mindustry also runs on mobile

I loved mindistry, I played it obsessively for a month or so last year, 10/10
