Begin the journey: Why your ethics might require adoption of Free Software

My own journey into free software began with my ethics. It was, and is, deeply personal but simultaneously connected to my understanding of the larger world I am a part of. I’ve long believed and argued to those around me that what we do as individuals matters. We are not helpless, we are not without power in our...

Microsoft "asking" you to buy a 365 subscription after every update with the only options being "remind me in X days" or "take my money" is only materially worse than apple deciding that I'm not allowed to use macOS after the latest update without A) being connected to the internet, and B) setting up their stupid BETA applet with the only other option being "later".

Neither of these companies are your friend. Neither deserves your respect, nor loyalty. If you have a use for their product or services, so beit. But don't fall for the lie that they are the only options. The year of the Linux desktop might be a meme, but I swear on God almost none of my family would even notice if I gave them a laptop with fedora or mint.

There are absolutely some specific cases where industry specific software is only available on some specific platform. But those cases are shrinking by the day, and I'd argue the majority of cases are at a point where it's better to learn and support the alternatives as they grow rather than wasting time and money on closed source solutions that are doomed to eventually die out when their company can't appease shareholders any longer.

make update-channels live

Typical steps for the
manual installation of Guix System are available in Guix manual.

Quoting the
introduction:
GNU Guix is a package management tool for and distribution of the GNU system. Guix makes it easy for unprivileged users to install, upgrade, or remove software packages, to roll back to a previous package set, to build packages from source, and generally assists with the creation and maintenance of software environments.
The manual covers many interesting topics and Getting Started is a good entry point. Git repository of GNU Guix is hosted on Codeberg, you can reach the community via various communication channels as well.

The LiveCDs includes proprietary firmwares from the
Nonguix channel, you can get help for relevant topics from their communication channels ;)

#EndOf10 (endof10.org) is "a brilliant resource for sharing with those who may be using Windows 10 and are unsure as to what to do when the time comes that Windows 10 no longer becomes a secure OS to use."
