was checking my old favourite posts and found this.
I feel so called out, even though I'm the second box and I currently use tumbleweed.

This. Is. Epic.
What a ride!
I feel like I'm kinda somewhere in between tech conservative and paranoid. I am privacy conscious but I don't engage in privacy related content too often. I use Arch, Manjaro, /e/OS on a fairphone with mostly foss apps and decline most cookies I can. I also like self hosted things just because the corporate SaaS stuff sucks over time with artificial restrictions and has no privacy

At some point I just need to jump off the ship and live full time Linux. I remember my Linux friend from high school telling me how cool gentoo was back in 2k3, and I got a disk and was like wtf⦠what do I do??? I need to try it again.

I am a newborn paranoid who "watch Luke Smith" and think "Richard Stallman was right".

Newborn paranoid is actually me π
I'd say I'm tech conservative/cynic with a bit of normie - as I've long accepted that forgoing big tech completely means losing the ability to talk to most of my friends and relatives (because there's zilch chance of me convincing them to move away)
I live on the right side of the second box, between second and third. I venture into the fourth maybe once or twice a year. It is a good life.

I'm a bit of 2,3 and 4.
I'm feel so called out
we are all
I'm less familiar with the icons starting at around section 4 onwards.
Could anyone share / link what some of them are?
after that emacs and fsf things
The FSF-approved distributions that are shown are: Trisquel, Parabola and GNU Guix (this one is actually quite neat, it's based on NixOS with its own ideas like the importance of being able to bootstrap an entire system from a minimal binary seed)
The browser with logo shown is GNU IceCat, with binary blobs removed and with some extra security and privacy features (among them an addon that prevents the browser from running proprietary javascript)
lynx is a simple TUI web browser and w3m also is a similar browser but running in GNU Emacs
The last three are all the GNU Emacs logo.
after that arch and its distros lastlsy temple os and holy c you can search about them
I see, thank you!
tails gentoo tor irc chat with self hosting 4
Between IRC and the picture representing the idea of self-hosting, there's the XMPP logo, which like IRC, is an instant messaging protocol (but with more features than IRC).

Not sure what I fall under π I want privacy and will pay for it, but I won't go all the way to a pure GNU OS where only certain open-source is allowed. IMO buying a new Pixel phone for GrapheneOS is still contributing to Google and does more harm than good.
What's the first browser under newborn paranoid?
Lmao nice
