Attached: 1 image My fellow software engineer, It's the year 2024. Please store your #Linux #desktop application configurations ONLY in `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME`. NOT in `$HOME` or other non-standard or obsolete places. May #FreeDesktop be your guide. https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/ #Programming #DevOps #SysAdmin

Seriously stop polluting my $HOME!

.pki .mozilla .java .gnupg .emacs.d .cargo .thunderbird .steam

dotfiles and their consequences were a disaster for the penguin race.

This is a very petty issue but I’m still PISSED.

I’m starting my switch to Linux soon… I have no idea what any of this means.

  Sometimes GNU/Linux presents some GNU/Challenges and you just got to bring them up.

    Still not even clear on the difference between GNU/Linux. I’m probably going to fuck this specific thing up when I install.

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
