Every time a windows/mac user switches to libre software, Saint iGNUcius (aka GNU/god) smiles. Keep it up.
Yet another python packager............... insane that such a popular language still doesn’t have this basic problem solved.
If they were honest, they would call it Unfair Source. 'We get to put bully our users for two years, and then they can have their freedom" - what’s “”“fair”“” about that? Yes, I said bully, because they can put spyware, malware and bad features without anyone being able to redistribute a copy without the mal-features. So either you get bullied, or you wait two years before the software goes open source. But by the time it’s gone open source, the software will most likely be obsolete, because that’s the pace of modern software development. Completely stupid license. If you want to keep your freedom, stick to free software.
Actually, I just read the manual.
You would be surprised with how common it is for the lay person to have problems on their computer. I like to start from there, and suggest a free as in freedom software solution. Then, once their issue has been solved, I will talk about the free software movement, explaning that these are the reasons that have motivated the authors of the software solution I promoted. Hopefully this leads on to a discussion about freedom in the digital world.
That is definitely not a good starting point. WSL is much more complicated and prone to breakage than running a distro directly. It litteraly changes the whole system to make Windows run on top of a hypervisor. A better way to try out GNU/Linux is to boot up a live environment on a USB stick or use a VM. Plus, WSL is only command line, and I would think that showing a friendly desktop environment is the best way to blow the assumption of GNU/Linux being hard/only for nerds.
Github is one of many public software repositories like Gitlab, Codeberg, sourcehut… You could search there also.
