    I agree that F-Droid is great!

    What I usually do is to buy the pro version on Google Play and install it later on F-Droid.

    On the other hand I don't see anything wrong for non tech people to install FOSS apps from the Play Store. The apps are still FOSS

  • linux Linux Where, and when, did you start using Linux? Where are you now?

  • tom42 tom42 8 months ago 100%

    Startet using Linux in 1999. Then I did a lot of distro hopping:

    • Redhat
    • Suse Linux
    • Gentoo
    • Sabayon Linux
    • Debian
    • Kdenlive
    • Arch
    • Ubuntu Studio
    • Fedora
    • Fedora Silverblue
    • since 2017 NixOS

    NixOS feels very contemporary and will stay a while. It is very advanced and usable in many diverse environments. In the past I did learn a lot installing and maintaining Debian and Arch – which has a great community.

    Jump
  • tom42 tom42 1 year ago 87%

    Honestly the best way would be to start coding by yourself. While trying to find solutions you might find the right people too.

    Almost every dev has its own ideas and ideals. There is no lack of ideas but everytime a big lack of time and men power. Software developers have more too much on the plate then too less.

    So sharing ideas is nice but contributing is gold.

    I would call it the FOSS Dev Paradox.

    Jump
  • tom42 tom42 1 year ago 75%

    Historically the GPL seems to be not cermercial in the sense of taking care for developers rights. The GPL is also connected to the term Open Source. Because it was too restricted for some cases a derivation was made witj the LGPL with which it is posdible to use GPL licenced libraries easier in combination with other more restricted or more opened licenses.

    For some looking for Free Software all this was too restricted and the libre BSD license and all its derivations were made.

    There are several licenses which forbid commercial use. But where does this work? When I want to use a piece of software while working on a profitable project it is commercial use. It may be on purpose to restrict this but sometimes it is not meant to be not free.

    This is how I run my daily driver since a time. Coming from Redhat -> Suse -> Debian -> Gentoo -> Arch (-> Fedora) I feel very stable with NixOS.

    The main system is NixOS with Flakes enabled, the user apps are installed with home-manager and on top a couple of desktop Flatpaks.

    In between I did try to switch back to other distros taking less compilation time but there are so many features in Nix keeping me.

    • the immutable system
    • reproducible builds
    • switchable generations
    • easiness to maintain in a Git repo
    • very fresh

    There is a huge difference in the result. With NixOS you run a immutable system where ths main configuration is built during the startup and not editable during the run.

    With Ansible you can generate the configuration as well for every run though. But in most cases you will write hard config files.
