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

And I'm scared of learning a new operating system.
I'd say a large majority of games run on Linux either natively (quite a lot of games have been ported because of the Steam Deck, which runs Linux!) or under Proton just fine, at least in my experience. The only troubles you will have are games with DRM (things like Denuvo) or anti-cheats (things like BattlEye or Easy Anti-Cheat, which both have Linux support, but the developers have to opt-in to it and not many do). There's actually a website called ProtonDB that has an extensive catalogue of games and the status of their Linux support, maybe all the games you play already run!
these days, if a game doesn't run on linux, I don't bother buying it lol
