@colincogle @joepie91 it's literally the same #OpenSource #Codebase just without #Microsoft's #proprietary #BinaryBlobs & #telemetry aka. #Spyware...

Even uses the same #AddOns...

In fact, I preinstall it as GUI Editor basically everywhere...

@anildash *nodds in agreement*

#Microsoft doesn't like #FLOSS unless they can exploit it for revenue.

Personally I use #VScodium sometimes but only since it's a #Fork of #VScode without shitty #BinaryBlobs.

But otherwise my #TechStack is #MicrosoftFree for obvious reasons:

I value my mental health more than my exploitability for #wagework!

@PeterCxy @SwiftOnSecurity whereas I can understand people using i.e. #eset on #linux for their #mailserver|s and #fileserver|s...

They are still #BinaryBlobs but at least they ain't so "fucky wucky" by using undocumented shit and act as #malware...

@lightweight If your hardware supports it, Trisquel gives a UX comparable to Mint (using their Mate desktop as the default interface), without any requirement for proprietary driver blobs in the Linux kernel.

HNode is a good place to find out about hardware that is compatible with free code, and to upload reports on how your own hardware performs:
