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.

- 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

Awkwardly looks at NixOS
NixOS is the most rewarding distribution to stick with, even though starting with it can be rough.
You have sold me on at least trying NixOS.
You should watch vimjoyers series on NixOS as an introduction since he goes over a lot of the essential basics that may trip newcomers up.
Already started, actually.
Also, considering that I don't want to manually re-partition a partition that I have already prepared for Linux on one of my drives, I think I will actually be starting with NixOS.
