Yes, Trisquel GNU/Linux on 2 laptops, a desktop, and a HTPC. I’ve been using Trisquel for 15 years(since Awen release), after running Debian with non-free disabled for a while.

The laptops are Thinkpads from minifree.org which provides libreboot and ensures compatibility with libre firmwares.

Trisquel is Ubuntu, with all the non-free software and binary blob firmware removed. Hardware that does not have a fully free driver will not work.

It is an easy install, rock solid when using, and has a knowledgeable and helpful community.

The other libre distros I think about checking one day are Guix or Parabola. https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.en.html

I recommend everyone to have at least one fully free distro installed, just to experience what the original vision of libre computing is.

I went up to my knee in quicksand last week.

Looked solid, nope.

(In the shaded part, under a bridge, on a supposed dry river bed.)

Exciting and a little scary.

You can do it! (c:

The WeeRide models are good for a toddler seat, that is positioned on the crossbar.

For bigger kids, probably need a behind seatpost model.

Passage is a Zen simulation , which is a pleasant walk in an open-world, if that world is a line segment.

OK, disregard those phone based ideas.

I read it as if you were looking for content that is outside of most phone based offerings (nasty psychologist created addiction loops etc.)

Bike riding is excellent for a physical and mental reset. Rear-radars are a thing, beeping when a car is approaching behind from 150m.

Badminton is great too. Portable cheap nets are available with telescopic poles.

Boardgames are great for social mixing.

Probably find something you like from these: Innovation, Inis, Port Royal, Just One, or Scout.

Cut in half, then suspended from the power lines.

Yes, I think this has only changed this year.

It is both astounding and a shame that these cloud restrictions have been added.

With enough negative feedback to manufacturers, and a drop in unit purchases, these usage limitations can be removed on future models, similar to how touch-controls of in-car systems are starting to return to physical controls.

…or consider boycotting Bosch, due to their move towards cloud-required-to-run dishwashers.

Watch the first 30 seconds of this to see how much nonsense the Bosch 500 has going on.

I don’t think that at all (c:

Was recommending this to speed up your next fresh lab install. :^)

Congratulations on your win.

Although it is fun to run around updating each PC individually, as the install numbers increase, Clonezilla can be helpful to multicast one OS image to many PCs in parallel.

I tried out Kiwix this week.

It is a library manager for offline content.

A thousand downloadable ‘books’(1000s of GB) from Wikipedia, Stack Exchange topics, ebooks, kids books, prepper content, to the Blender Open Movies.

This is the easiest way to setup an offline library of quality content.

(It is not in FDroid, but installs via Obtainium just fine)

Maybe look at AARD2 as an offline Wikipedia browser too.
