I never imagined the original post would go so viral and be seen by +6M people. But I guess it shows there’s real momentum — and the perfect time to finally escape big tech’s grip.
I went through hundreds of reposts of the image and took in feedback from community comments. I’ve replaced USA-centralized apps like Brave and Bluesky with more open alternatives, and added self-hosting indicators.
As many of you recommended, I’ve also created an online version with descriptions that we can constantly update and improve.
Drop a comment if you have suggestions for a better alternative, improved description, or a feature for the site. Let’s break free together!
Nice, but highlighting a particular Linux distro might not be great. I see the point in minimizing amount of choices, but many people may not like default Mint experience.
Ok Zorin then
Also controversial. Just leave Linux, and it would be useful to have a page outlining major newbie distros
Zorin, LinuxMint & PopOS are newbie-distros
Or would you rather have OpenSUSE ?
All are fine. Also, Manjaro if you’re feeling adventurous.
