  • Mooby gives good advice! I tried out different distros in vm’s for 6 months after which I found myself very familiar and living in one more than my base os. At that point I nuked macos and installed Kubuntu no regrets. Kubuntu is a great start due to the popular Ubuntu base. Kinoite would be a good choice for its immutability. If set on Opensuse then choose Gecko as a more friendly way to install it.







  • Copyleft is NOT against profit! Go read Stallman! Anarchy mean 'No Rulers' not no hierarchy. Call yourself an Anorderist otherwise! Hierarchy is just a form of structure. Some people have management and coordination skills. Others specialise in an area that fits into a greater project. There is nothing wrong in a voluntary structure system. It is only the initiation of force upon structure (see. Government) or otherwise that is a problem.






  • Linux and open source in general completely blow apart capitalist arguments that profit motive

    Wrong! Linux and open source only shows that the profit motive is not the only motive. One should broaden the definition of profit to encompass value in all its forms. ie A person can gain value from the satisfaction of DIY as it can be self-empowering. One can gain emotional value from sharing. It also invokes the law of reciprocation - value exchange but without a $ sign. The Open source ecosystem is also heavily funded by business who relies on open source components. It is a capital investment.



  • You do know Capitalism was making the slave trade unfeasable. Technology is superior at mass production. It increasingly made sense to invest in machinery etc. The most skilled slaves were eventually given free reign and only had to pay a fee to their master. White nations and their Capitalist technology ended slavery - at least in the Western world.


  • Privately owned and in kahoots with the government - in the USA. Other central banks are government institutions. They all force the tender upon those within borders and demand payment in that tender - taxes. A true Free Market would have market derived currencies that people would voluntary adopt. No force. The very heart of ‘Capitalism’, that being capital, is not free, not libre. It is captured by private and/or state entities and controlled. True, although central banks are a tenant of communism, the situation in the USA is more akin to that of Fascism - the partnership of state and private business. The term Capitalism itself in its original meaning, as defined by Marx, is what we would more likely now call Crony-Capitalism. We need to abolish Capitalism/Crony-Capitalism and embrace Laissez-faire. Libre Software and libre markets!


  • Colonialism - you mean a collectivist institution for the “social” and “communal” good (the state) - disrespecting others private property rights? nb. Private property is a principle of the Free Market. All private property rights are an extension of self ownership. To hell with slavery - which includes the collective slavery of Communism!
