Great news. Public institutions should never buy or use proprietary software.

There is a great cheat sheet made by Ubuntu.

Hello guys! Congratulations for your work on so many services! I have a question about Mobilizon: if I want to see events from Bucharest, is there a way to see events from all the instances, or do I have to search on each instance? Thank you!

I use Trisquel because it is recommended by FSF, is based on Ubuntu and I like Mate environment.

Reddit has a big community. It's about networking effect. That's why so hard to leave big platforms, because you can migrate to FOSS alternatives, but maybe most of things/people you follow don't have accounts there.

Ubuntu (because I have seen it on laptops in shops), Debian (because I found out that Ubuntu is based on Debian, is a community distro instead of a company distro), OpenSuse (I wanted to try something different to apt, it looked different), Zorin (because I loved the custom desktop environments), Mint (because a software I needed didn't work on Zorin, and because Cinnamon DE was very friendly), Trisquel (because it's 100%, recommended by FSF). I also tested other distros in VM's (Steam, Guix System, Pure OS, Dragora, Dynebolic, Alpine, Slackware and that's all I remember). A really beautiful journey!

There must be foss alternatives to every proprietary software. Big thanks to GNU and Linus Torvalds that joined their forces and created GNU/Linux!

Trisquel, Pure OS, Mint.

Newer versions of VirtualBox (from 4.2 on) depend on the non-free open watcom compiler. If you want a 100% free VM software, QEMU-KVM is the solution.

I use Linux-libre kernel, 5.15.0-139-generic.

If it's true, great story. He preferred to use his money to help existing people with existing needs instead of creating new useless needs.
