Nothing listed there is any good, except perhaps for VLC if you're on something so pozzed a flavor MPC won't do. Subpar jeetware overall.

The Linux kernel is absolutely good. VLC and audacity are also bretty good

Most of this software is "free" as in "free of charge," but it's not free because it does not respect your freedom. In other words, proprietary trash

What ever happened to the wiki installgentoo or whatever it was to recommend software and such. I remember it got taken over by reddit but did another project takes it place or anything?

>>106625555
I'm on Windows obviously because I mentioned MPC. Specifically Posready 2009. If you want to know what I use for any one task, just ask.

SeaMonkey. Literally cannot do web devel on anything less. Operating system support for everything I need with updates and all the fun stuff we might have to disable later on.

ShareX is useful

before 2012 it was british owned, then piriform was sold to avast (german) and it became commercial (pup) Prior to 2012 it did what it advertised and was good at it. Kind of like avast antivirus.

People usually reccomend "normal" GNU/Linux distributions like Linux Mint or Debian, but that does not mean they are entierly free software, thankfully, the FSF has a list of 100% free software distributions which you can see on their website. My personal favourite is Hyperbola because it's stable and has no basedstemD but Parabola is also good. (Please don't make fun of my terrible english speaking capabilities)
