My first dive into GNU/Linux was with Mint in February 2025 which I installed on on old 2021 Mac Mini. It was a great first experience but I wanted to try an "entirely free" distribution. One of the recommendations is #trisquel and I gave that a go with the KDE desktop. Installed yesterday, loving it so far. No wifi as the card driver/firmware is nonfree, often an issue with "free" distros. I use ethernet so not a problem in my use case.

"Dystopian worlds don't just pop into existence: they are built by the choices of those with substantial power, taking freedom from others. Free software has unlimited power for making our world actually better for people (not Big Tech), but we need to join together and ensure that free freedom can thrive."

I'm enjoying learning about the foundational ethics of the Free Software Movement. And I appreciate and understand the refusal to compromise on anything less than truly free software. Computers and software have become central to how we organize and administer human affairs in the modern world. We should not be so casual in the ethics of the technology we adopt and use daily.
#FSF and #GNU.
