I had enough of big tech and their actions, so created this guide to make switching as easy as possible (lemmy.ml)

I shared a version of this guide earlier this year, but felt a website was needed to unpack the different options fully. So after an unreasonable number of hours, I put together the necessary data and website.

I hope this is digestible enough for the average person to help those looking to take that first step, or for people who are equally passionate and want to get their friends or family involved.

Details:

Site - https://purchasewithpurpose.io/
Code - https://codeberg.org/purchase-with-purpose/pwp-website

Every time I post these guides, there is always feedback on things that can improve, or I got wrong. Please do share, as it is the best way for these to evolve!

Bazzite is the go-to OS for Linux gaming for most new systems now. Even tech brands are promoting it.

Never heard of PopOS as a gaming distro.

Sorry I really could have researched that category better. You aren't the first one to point it out. Will look to update.

The choice of Linux distro is a major battlefield. You couldn't have gotten to any answer that wouldn't invite complaints.

Just wanna say thanks for updating it, my 2c is also to add Spotify in the music section as the starting point to move away from

2c

Personally, I agree and have in the past put it in the left column. Right now I have settled for having a disclaimer against its name and might make that more prominent in the overview pages as well. https://purchasewithpurpose.eu/software/D5JUoM1dZysf7JJgTAWXy/
