GNU-Free Distributions Increase Agency, Actually
artemis.sh
My good friend Xe wrote a post complaining about fully GNU-Free distributions, and I disagree with some things xe says in it. Xe challenged me to a 1v1 fite irl fox only final destination no items but xe can’t meet up with me in person and nintendo’s netcode is garbage, so I’m writing a response blog post instead. I think that the existence of fully GNU-Free distributions is important for increasing people’s agency in the broader sense. On the other hand, I agree with Xe that some of the communities around these projects have problems.

    Title’s confusing. GNU-Free can be understood as “distros free of GNU”. Author actually meant “GNU-powered Free distros”.

      That tripped me up lol. I went into it planning to read all the points and promptly tear it apart.

      I misunderstood it like this and it took me some time reading the article that it wasn’t.

    Best opening to a blog post ever.
