Here I keep track of free software I recommend trying.
Linux
Distributions
- Debian - Still remains one of my favorites in the GNU+Linux world. Very stable, well organized and maintained. Well supported by 3rd parties and has good free software policies. Great for servers and desktops.
- openSUSE Tumbleweed or Aeon - Excellent rolling desktops, both very reliable. Excellent for workstations on more cutting-edge hardware.
- GNU Guix System - A very different system. Very fun to hack on but a little challenging for the average user. This one is mostly for the Lisp hackers!
Package managers
- GNU Guix - Not to be confused with Guix System, it works as a package manager for any distribution. Quite user friendly and works great for getting extra software.
Games
I don’t play a lot of games but I enjoyed some of these. I haven’t played them all yet!
- SuperTuxKart - a really fun kart racing game
- The Battle for Wesnoth - a solid strategy game
- OpenArena - old school arena shooter
- Xonotic - a more modern arena shooter
- DCSS, Brogue, Nethack, ToME - roguelike dungeon crawlers
- Teeworlds/DDNet - a multiplayer platformer
- Veloren - voxel MMORPG
