Hello Everyone,
I have been cooking and will get back to many of you soon. Quesadillas, breakfast burritos, and some noodles have been a start of what my cooking repertoire has become. No longer is my food burnt or undercooked, as I’m being more conscious and feeling more nourished :)
The title of this post is meant to start a discussion with those of you who have freed yourself from all the proprietary software (or most, excluding devices assigned by your employer).
As corporations pervade nearly every aspect of our lives, I believe it would be a fun hobby to delve into FOSS with a group of you. We could discuss even ordering a RISC-V laptop/PC, driver creation, and how one designs a hobby board. The resulting computer will likely be leagues behind everything you can buy that is PnP, but it’s an obsession I would like to bring to fruition.
For those of you who yearn for a corporation free computing experience, how close have you gotten? What next step is stopping you from going deeper? I want to get back onto Matrix and start a channel for this if our sub admins would appreciate a reignition of this discussion. We could then open source this design to other auties and those interested in sharing knowledge. I believe we could build something beautiful for our community to use.
Thoughts? :)
I’m the creator of this list of open source software. Most of what is on there is stuff I use. The list, unlike others, tries to factorize user experience into the mix, so one could realistically use all the software there. There are a few proprietary options in the mix, but those simply have no open source alternative.
Great source! Thank you very much for sharing, I’ll check it out more 😊
