On my home PC everything is FOSS. I’m a serious hobby user of Inkscape and GIMP. No advantage to using commercial alternatives.

Work PC is all commercial software. For me FOSS CAD doesn’t come close.

My PC is mostly foss, the exceptions being that I use YouTube and discord. still working on my phone though.

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.

Currently running majority FLOSS, and glad for the excellent options that these very capable people have released.

Desktops, laptops, HTPC:

Trisquel GNU/Linux on Libreboot BIOS hardware

–//–

Phones and tablets are:

GrapheneOS + Fdroid only apps

–//–

Rockbox audio players

(+ Open Tunes from FMA, Argofox, CC netlabels, jamendo, bandcamp etc)

–//–

Gadgetbridge + Amazfit Bip (watch)

[Looking to switch out this watch for a FLOSS smartwatch like: pinetime or bangle.js]

and dd-wrt on the router

Hard to pin a number on it, percentage-wise.

  • Desktop and laptop are both running Linux.
  • Chromebook wiped and running Linux.
  • Most software, but definitely not all. Steam, Resolve being the two biggest non-foss items on my desktop, while my ex-Chromebook has a proprietary screenwriting program, as well as OnlyOffice instead of LibreOffice because I need much better Excel compatibility for work and LO still isn’t quite there for it.
  • Phone android. But not entirely de-googled. Replaced drive with syncthing, keep with Joplin, photos, phone, and messenger with their Fossify equivalents and disabled the originals. Replaced gboard with heliboard, etc…

But can’t/won’t completely replace the OS yet because both google pay and android auto are essential to me and getting them working on most replacements is still a royal pain in the butt.

So let’s call it 80%, maybe a bit more?

OS

  • Linux on my laptop, had hackintoshed a 2015 MacBook Pro before to run macOS Sonoma, and that ran on this device before
  • Windows on my desktop to play games from studios that are owned by a certain Chinese investment company starting on T.
  • stock Android on my SM-A536B since LineageOS isn’t ported (yet) to this device.

(Semi)Libre Software

  • Zed
  • Eternity for Lemmy
  • Tubular (NewPipe + Sponsorblock and ReturnYTDislike)
  • Tusky for Mastodon
  • Rust (the language)

Proprietary software

  • GSuite (for collaboration)
  • Games and game launchers (namely Steam on PC and on laptop and Epic shitty games launcher on PC)

I’d consider my setup 8/10 FOSS.

featured ,

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

I don’t know what to say about people who I told about lichess but still think chess.com is better

Maybe just say why it is better:

  • No ads / subscriptions
  • No tracking
  • Free software is really fast
  • You can do many projects with Lichess
  • Clean non-cluttered UI

So, in summary, it’s not hyped up (marketing), clean, no tracking, free chess.com experience.

I don’t know what are the advantages’ chess.com has over Lichess right now. The chess should be free.

Linux on all my computers and GrapheneOS on my Google Pixel 6a with 99.8% FOSS applications. Maybe 96% FOSS softwares on my stationary computer and 100% on my laptops.

yo_scottie_oh ,

With GrapheneOS do you still get the same quality photos as you would with the stock OS?

airikr ,

I use Open Camera and the quality is very good. Especially the night mode! What you see with your eyes in a dark room with the TV on, that’s what you will see in the photo. Not the same quality on the TV in the photo, of course, but very close.

Cyber ,

Just a +1 for Open Camera - it’s a great bit of software.

airikr ,

Indeed. Far the best camera for Android I’ve ever used. Kinda addicted to the timestamp/watermark/something, though, haha! Mighty good feature!

It’s just the firmware, my work-necessary programs, and steam.

I love arch, but i’m planning on moving to atomic fedora eventually, but I use a bunch of niche things because i’m an early adopter

i’ll switch to fedora atomic when pwvucontrol, tofi, hyprland, hyprland-autoname-workspaces, citrix workspace (work necessary), notiflut-land, bato, wljoywake, wayland-pipewire-idle-inhibit, ananicy-cpp, easyeffects, wl-mirror, gtk3-classic, keyd, iwgtk, qtalarm, kvantum and subliminal are all available, haven’t checked which are yet

couple of those (pwvucontrol and notiflut-land) aren’t even in the AUR yet so it’ll be a while.

A bunch of older Chromebooks now running a Free firmware, and Debian.

yo_scottie_oh ,

Which chromebooks? if you don’t mind my asking… thinking of going this route, but I’ve read not all chromebooks are created equal wrt installing Linux.

eugenia ,
@eugenia@lemmy.ml avatar

I had some chromebooks from 2014 to 2019, and these specifically worked with the MrChromebox’s firmware. There’s a list on his website about the models supported.

Libre hardware:

  • Turris Omnia router with their OpenWrt-based distro. Bought in 2017, upgraded to Wifi-6 in 2022. Great product.
  • 3x system76 laptops with Coreboot and Debían
  • The desktop is a system76 darter pro with a broken hinge, so it’s connected to a widescreen monitor and external mouse, keyboard. Also Debían.

The non FOSS systems are:

  • HP Dev One running proprietary UEFI, and Pop!_OS
  • a couple of Pixel phones running stock OS
  • an iPad Pro with keyboard from 2018
  • X201 Thinkpad with AFFS upgrade running Debían. Connected to some AudioEngine speakers and Spotify, this is our media player.
  • a Thinkpad T43p with XP for Age of Empires and Freecell
  • an Apple TV.
