Hi everyone
i wanted to talk about the fsf problems, this is my point of view and i
wanted to know what you guys think about this topic.
I know that fsf is a no profit but the way the act make no sence to me.
Here there is an example https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.en.html,
this is the fsf recomended gnu/linux distros page, many distro here are dead
or about to be(for the exception of parabola and pureOS)
Probably that page is the most important on the gnu website, for obvious
reasons,and is not hard work to update that page, but is like fsf couldn't
care less.
Imagine, you are a guy without computer skills, you hear about free software
and fsf and you want to give it a try, you go on the gnu website and choose
to download one of the recomended distros here, only to find out that the
project is either dead or not updated, you probably go back to windows and
think free software is a joke.
I know that on that page there is written that fsf is not responsible for
other web sites, or how up-to-date their information is,but still,these are
the best distro for them, and some are far from the best...
This is only bad for fsf.
Another example, let's talk about Trisquel, i love Trisquel, and i know that
is developed by volunteers but still tha last release is Trisquel7 (2014),
and i know that Trisquel8 will be released soon, but 4 years?
This lead to the next point, i find this info on this forum, fsf hired Ruben
(the main trisquel developer) to work for them, and only recently Ruben
started to work again full time on trisquel.
This is really a bad move by them, what are they thinking?
They should instead hire Ruben for work full time on Trisquel
Trisquel is the most used and user friendly fsf endorsed distro, and they
leave the project without a new release?
One of the best fsf endorsed distro leaved to die?
What you guys think?
This post is my opinion, is not a troll post, if you don't agree with feel
free to post why but please no flame.
As always sorry for my bad english.
