  • Yes, I’ve run Trisquel on all house devices for 10-12 years, plus libreboot.

    Other commenters are correct, plenty of hardware will not function at all without its proprietary blobs. Frustrating at first, but then good riddance once you find libre alternatives.

    For new hardware purchases you can follow what hardware various online hardware retailers are using, such as:

    minifree.org

    vikings.net

    thinkpenguin.com

    Or trawl through h-node.org to decipher what may work.

    This trims out all the proprietary fluff real quick, both software and hardware. Backdoor vectors from obfuscated-blobs are removed.

    Trimmed out a ton of games too. No big loss. Initially thinking there was no way to live without X-proprietary game, but there is.

    Many people have jobs that are tied to particular proprietary packages. Can run those contained in a virtual-machine or on a box other than your daily.

    Proprietary software may or may not be brainrot, make your own conclusions, but I am calmer and sleep better these days.

    I’ve met Stallman, Linus, and Wales, and they are shining a light to show a realistic path to a more open future. I support and use that each day.

    Skip the FUD and all the best.













  • I guessed it was Innovation from the title.

    The best card game available, IMHO.

    Best at 2 player.

    I like the 3rd ed. art the best(the brown box shown at 2:20).

    Available for free-online play at the DIY boardgame site yucata.de (Register a free account at top, then click on ‘Create Invitation’) (For the first few learning games, online-play can help greatly, when calculating each players featured-icons)

    I very highly recommend trying out Innovation. Worth a go if you like any other card games or boardgames.

    NB. The complimentary card-theming, and appropriate level of play-testing/balancing, is very evident when playing through.
