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
Community - https://lemmy.world/c/PurchaseWithPurpose

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!

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

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/
