OS

  • Linux on my laptop, had hackintoshed a 2015 MacBook Pro before to run macOS Sonoma, and that ran on this device before
  • Windows on my desktop to play games from studios that are owned by a certain Chinese investment company starting on T.
  • stock Android on my SM-A536B since LineageOS isn't ported (yet) to this device.

(Semi)Libre Software

  • Zed
  • Eternity for Lemmy
  • Tubular (NewPipe + Sponsorblock and ReturnYTDislike)
  • Tusky for Mastodon
  • Rust (the language)

Proprietary software

  • GSuite (for collaboration)
  • Games and game launchers (namely Steam on PC and on laptop and Epic ~~shitty~~ games launcher on PC)

I'd consider my setup 8/10 FOSS.

Why is Zed (Semi)Libre Software? Do you know something that I don't?

[-] DieserTypMatthias@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 months ago

The collaboration feature + the inclusion of GitHub login and Copilot. Though those can be stripped out if you don't want them.

Ah, I see, I thought so.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
