I have a thinkpad lying around. I have used Linux over the last 5 years and I an NOT a power user. I use Mint and it gets the job done for me.

Lately though, the whole libre software bug bit me and I want at least one machine that is libre compatible through and through. I have heard some stuff like Parabola and GNUIX or something like that, but thought it best to ask around first before even thinking about something like this.

My work essentially involves writing documents (LaTeX and LibreOffice), doing statistical analysis, and making lectures. I access emails via Thunderbird. That’s it.

Does anyone here daily drive a fully libre laptop?

    A coworker who’s a quarter of a century younger than me is well on the way towards that ideal. Libreboot and all. I caught the bug and decided to start with Guix on my home server, but it turns out a Mac Mini is not the platform to go fully libre with XD The itch does persist…
