Nah, its not I have to use, just for old school games i like that aren't
usable outside of emulation, etc...
Why what do you need to use? If your computer is fast enough, I suppose you
could run stuff in a virtual machine if needed.
What non-free software do you have to use? Is it for work? School?
Using non-free software on a libre software computer aka one with a fully
free distro, is something some people probably do. If you have to though, I
recommend keeping that stuff as disconnected from the internet as possible.
That being said, I agree with thejames. although I understand
I recommend Manjaro to every windows user wanting to use GNU/Linux because it
is a 'gamer' distro so many non-free games,non-free GPU Drivers, and non-free
applications are available. It is rolling release, which is more similar to
what windows has where applications just decide to f---ing

Manjaro sucks. Why not use
I have four rules for advising and helping others on software matters
Never tell them to read X and that will solve their problem
It is a big world and free software is about giving people choices to inform
themselves on and grow knowledge. There is nothing wrong about simplifying
something
If you have any craptops laying around in your home, that no one is using, my
recommendation would be to install a version of GNU/Linux like Manjaro. It
will have non-free drivers, and also non-free applications.
If something like that would not solve your problems I would just install
On my Trisquel machine, I have a VM installed that has Windows on it. I treat
my non-free software as a utility, but I make it inconvenient to use. I always
reach for the free software first. I fyou have that situation, I think thats
ideal.

I think this was asked just a few days ago.
Trisquel, as a free/libre distribution, respects your freedom 0, including
the "freedom" to install non-free software. Just do your best to avoid
non-free software whenever possible.
Do you think that its redundant to use Trisquel as my main desktop OS and
install non free software on it? Should I just have separate laptops, one
exclusively free and another non free out of necessity?
