They hate him, because he told the truth.

This is a really cool idea, will share it around!

Maybe add the website on the GitHub-Repo as the projetc-site URL, makes it easier to navigate.

I buy all my Linux cloths from HelloTux: https://www.hellotux.com

Their statement on the about page wonderful!

We believe that free and open source software is better than proprietary. We also believe that we can change how people use technology. If you are the kind of person who likes freedom and fun, promote free software with us!

And they go on:

HELLOTUX is a family project of Gábor Kum, a Linux system administrator, a Linux user since 1999. His wife Maria and his children are Linux users too.

As far as they explain they only use free software to create the patterns for the shirts (and now also backpacks!).

They also support FOSS projects with every sell they make:

This is not all. From your purchase we support free software, usually $3-5 from each product sold. But not everybody can accept money due to legal reasons, in this case, we give free shirts to developers.

I had some mails going back and forth with them, as I thanked for the stuff I got and they are lovley.

The quality is good and conformable, the oldest thing I have from them is a Tux-Hoodie I bought two or three years ago. It is still good and has the normal wear signs a hoodie has after a few years of use and washing.

Oh no! … … anyway

Switzerland

A bit late but I was reading the comments and thought I share too.

Overall we are doing good, as far as I can tell, if not a little better than 20 or so years ago. But we also have problems that seem to getting bigger but not many seem to be concerned about them, as mentioned in an other comment people seem to be more disconnected and just follow their bubble interests.

For one, there is the global opinion the world has of us, the war in Ukraine really shook us and how we see our identity as a neutral nation. Our neutrality is now a big topic in discussions, especially the youth is very divided about it. Neutrality is something we all grow up with and see (or saw) it as a big part of our nations strength, how this will play out will show the referendums and initiatives that are planned for the next years, votes will decide.

Then there is the looming finance crisis that seems to come closer. Overall we are still doing good, as our inflation is very low in comparison to other EU countries (we even managed to lower inflation to a new low since a few years). Some now start to get financial problems, rents get raised yearly, public transport prices too and overall living gets even more expensive.

A new kind of crack floods the illegal drug market, and you can see junkies (sorry I do not know a better word) more and more. They not really bother others at the moment but you can sense a coming pandemic of this substance. Together with the financial problems I see a big danger in that.

There are other problems too, but those are the ones I see most present at the moment.

There are also good things of course, wages are high and steady when you work in specialized industries, going to university costs at most 700.- per semester, our government does not follow surveillance trends like the UK or EU. Overall I would still say, Switzerland is a good country to live and work in, I especially like our approach of direct democracy and our culture of privacy.

Smartphones are not a tool to manipulate and spy on tge population.

Oh boy, wait until you learn about Google-Analytics on Android phones, or how they predict (or lets say know) where traffic jams are. Does the Section 702 of the USA ring a bell?

They certainly started as a good idea, but they evolved into a widely used surveillance tool for companies and governments across the world.

True, but you can easily switch to Flatpaks and use them instead.

I think to start, Mint or Ubuntu is a good choice, it has support for most hardware and will probably run on whatever you install it.

Also something that I think most new Linux users should focus on; instead of distro pick the desktop environment (DE). As a beginner it does not really matter if you use, lets say, a Debian- or Fedora-based distro. Pick a DE that looks pleasing to you maybe GNOME or KDE and take the installation with that DE. Maybe do not start with Arch or Gentoo as they are for more experienced users that already have some Linux experience.

Distros will be way more interesting and important when you got a hold of Linux and you want to explore the differences of them.

Last tip: Make a separated /home directory, so when you want to change to a new distro you do not have to delete all your files and start over with an empty machine.

I wish you a good start into Linux and do not hesitate to ask questions if they arise!

I have Trackmania Stadium for that. Going into a full speed server (Only need to steer left or right while constantly press forward) and put some music up.

The flow of the race tracks together with the music is very nice and because no speed control is needed, no need to get into the physics and tracks to enjoy the game.

I can recommend to get into Trackmania when you have more time, the feeling of mastering a hard track is marvellous, but just speeding around is also fun as hell.

The government’s use of Section 702 is subject to extensive and rigorous oversight by all branches of government. All of these reviews have universally concluded that the government is properly using this authority to conduct foreign intelligence collection.

It is from a presentation to justify section 702, the law that NSA uses to spy on any person world wide. Snowden leakes showed the reach of the surveillance under Section 702.
