Welcome to libre
A comm dedicated to the fight for free software with an anti-capitalist perspective.
The struggle for libre computing cannot be disentangled from other forms of socialist reform. One must be willing to reject proprietary software as fiercely as they would reject capitalism. Luckily, we are not alone.
Resources
- Free Software, Free Society provides an excellent primer in the origins and theory around free software and the GNU Project, the pioneers of the Free Software Movement.
- Switch to GNU/Linux! If you're still using Windows in
$CURRENT_YEAR, flock to Linux Mint!; Apple Silicon users will want to check out Asahi Linux.
Rules
- Be on topic: Posts should be about free software and other hacktivst struggles. Topics about general tech news should be in the technology comm or programming comm. That doesn't mean all posts have to be serious though, memes are welcome!
- Avoid using misleading terms/speading misinformation: Here's a great article about what those words are. In short, try to avoid parroting common Techbro lingo and topics.
- Avoid being confrontational: People are in different stages of liberating their computing, focus on informing rather than accusing. Debatebro nonsense is not tolerated.
- All site-wide rules still apply

I love everything I’m seeing about this desktop! I haven’t been able to find info on it but if they add an option to use horizontal workspaces rather than the vertical layout then I might drop Sway for cosmic
This option has already been implemented in the COSMIC alpha which can be downloaded from the System76 website as part of POP!_OS 24.04 alpha or installed on various Linux distros like Fedora, Nix and Arch.
If you press
super+Wyou get a workspaces overview a la GNOME overview or KDE Plasma's overview where one can move windows around to different workspaces graphically.It also supports both floating, ~~manual~~ window snapping, and ~~dynamic~~ manual tiling and configuration via text files.
Wow I’m sold
