Trisquel VS PsychOS

> a vendor locked in Chromebook Choose your poison. Macbooks are tightly knit with Apple and phone home, but are absurdly expensive and people pay for the privilege of getting spied on. Same with Chromebooks: we're just another datapoint for Google, and much more data is collected. Why not hand out Thinkpads flashed with Trisquel Linux[0]? (A Libre Linux that respects privacy?). And don't get me started on Windows... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

Not a 'service' but Trisquel OS is a fully freedom-respecting and privacy-aware distro, and has no telemetry or phoning home. Source: 11 months ago

I don't own a cell phone and my computer is entirely free, its BIOS replaced with libreboot running Trisquel, a 100% free-software operating system. Others can do this, too, if they really want the freedom. It is not hard, nor does it require expertise. It only requires the will to do it. Source: 11 months ago

There's Trisquel, which is a GNU approved distro based on Ubuntu with all the non-free stuff removed. Otherwise I'd suggest something Debian or Devuan based, like MX Linux or Refracta. Source: over 1 year ago

Now on to DOS! At the homepage of the same website, I have a list of recommended software a certain DOS enthusiast may find interesting. I also have an ANSI-like desktop environment called "PsychDOS" at https://psychoslinux.gitlab.io that is rather large in size but worst case, you can "gut-it-out" or just play around with it in DOSBox.

PsychOS (https://psychoslinux.gitlab.io) was mostly developed on an Acer Aspire One ZG5 (AOA150), just like the one in the video but with 1GB of RAM and I think it has 256MB of VRAM. The reason I am mentioning it is because I also pack it with emulators and makes use of DOSBox to run software from the programs menu, as well as includes a program I made called RetroGrab to easily add more; or worse case, just visit...

Just to recap, PsychDOS is an ANSI-like, but clickable, desktop environment for DOS that I released a while back in which I had two options, one for installing onto DOSBox, FreeDOS, MS-DOS, etc. Via a ZIP and another option for running an IMG (pre-configured FreeDOS) in a virtual machine emulator called QEMU so as to have working Internet. However, it recently dawned on me that most people are probably using... Source: over 2 years ago

I'm sort of a lazy ass too so I use Imagemagick for everything in the terminal. If you check PsychOS they have a huge collection of individual tools that can perform some advanced editing features like deepfake ai stuff. Source: almost 3 years ago

Do i386 packages run on an i486 machine or is using "i386" just a generic naming kind of thing? I've been trying to figure out ways to create an i486 version of PsychOS (https://psychoslinux.gitlab.io) and Knoppix 7.2.0 may be a solution but would adding a bunch of i386 packages actually work or break things? Plus I need to know before I end up putting my foot in my mouth any further if I ever go on a luddite... Source: about 3 years ago
