I wish it was more, but the paid/closed options in a few categories are just significantly better than anything foss
I have a raspberry pi as a print server but that’s about it. I tried a few distros on an old laptop but none really worked that well.
I try but games are important to me, though I don't play modern games these days. I al as o make an exception for speaking/playing with friends.
FOSS for everything on my laptop and server, except discord and Spotify, but I’m migrating away as much as possible. I have a Pixel 7 with GrapheneOS and use mostly FOSS there too, but have Google play installed to the sandbox for some social media apps. Not perfect but pretty good and improving
Mostly FOSS locally, but I rely on some proprietary software where there are gaps in the FOSS ecosystem.
Arch on every box in the house, including the primary router. Mixed Intel and AMD. Openwrt on every AP (unfortunately Mellanox and MediaTek firmware blobs for the radios). GrapheneOS on my daily and LineageOS on my legacy phone.
Aside from occasional games, I don't install anything I don't have the source to. My phone is the only exception, for apps required to interface with the rest of the world.
Linux
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
