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. - Social Media Recommendations:
- The Linux Experiment: Weekly news host for Linux/libre software related news.
- Nicco Loves Linux: Developer for KDE who makes interesting videos.
- David Revoy: An incredible artist with a cool webcomic, all done with GNU/Linux.
- Michael Horn: Makes videos about his various experiences with 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.
- 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

vim, no fancy configs or anything because I want it to always work the same on remote servers that I work on vs my local
eclipse for java (god I hate my job)
Honestly I used to use notepad++ on windows for general use and IDEs/terminals as appropriate, but its such dogshit on linux (they say just use the windows version with wine! and the Qt clone of it has some key features for me broken, like bad autosave) that I almost entirely use vim. I guess sometimes gedit to open things graphically.
Do companies still use Eclipse? I thought they would all switch to JetBrains licenses.
What are your thoughts on Neovim?
they dont tell me what to use and I dont do enough development to want an intelliJ license particularly, which is what my coworkers use
never used neovim but it looks neat. might have to try it. but ultimately my like of vim is mostly that its usually preintalled and the same everywhere. My text editing is pretty distributed across different systems that dont have neovim no any of my custom configs for much of anything
