Trisquel GNU/Linux

All releases are named after Celtic goddesses/gods from Wales, Ireland, Gaul etc.

I remember when Ubuntu was released, and I still have one of the first or second release Ubuntu shipit CDs.

Ubuntu was good at marketing and they were good at making things ‘just work’.

It was often the recommended choice of starter-distro due to hardware compatibility.

I’ve installed and admin’ed Ubuntu on 20 PCs in a small office setting, and it provides a decent user experience.

I would not personally use Ubuntu.

My daily driver now is Trisquel GNU/Linux, which is Ubuntu with all non-free packages(and binary blobs) removed.

If you are at the stage where you know how to source hardware that works with FLOSS-drivers, try out a fully-free FSF approved distro.

Clean, with zero corporate fluff.

WFH with video games, and watching Office Space and Fight Club a little too literally.

I just gave it a listen through, and yes I am remembering it for Kaneda’s Theme.

Seeing that scene on the big screen in '88 has not been topped as the most electric cinematic experience, for me.

Akira(1988)

The soundtrack compliments the action so well.

Muzei - a free wallpaper changer on f-droid

It has many sources for images, like NASA APOD, masterpieces, NatGeo, Ghibli and others.

Great tune. I only know it from this Sauer race-vid

Afterburner II - City 202

Slinger’s Song - from the game Bastion

I heard this song first on this Sauerbraten race-vid, I haven’t played the original Bastion game.

Revolution OS(2001) was maybe the earliest documentary about Free Software.

This was great to view at LinuxConf2001, seeing many of the names you’d only read about previously.

Warning: It interviews various people discussed in this thread, but also contains plenty of Stallman being right.

IIRC, I prefer the physics and AI in LiquidWar 5.

LW6 may have caught up in the last 10 years, I’ve not tried it in a while.

Probably try both and see what you like.

One of the best quotes about Free Software, was how it is essentially using the same principles as Judo, use the opponents momentum against them.

The way Free Software uses full, restrictive copyright to create a permissive, free sharing-based copyright is an excellent example of the technique within many Judo throws.

I can’t remember where this quote was from, and a quick search found nothing. Maybe someone else can pinpoint it.

When a hip-hop OG just has fun with the flow.

Used to enjoy Red Eclipse1.6, before it was retired.

I’m looking for the name of a FLOSS Quake1-mod, puzzle game, that was about placing gravity points to curve a stream of particles around the level, and eventually into the goal target. (May have used irrlicht) If anyone knows the name of this one, please let me know, it is my white-whale of games.

Can find details about most of the above games here:

FLOSS gaming is excellent, thanks to all these devs and asset creators.

Closed-source games.
