Participants:

Summary: Pages of popular free software applications for different categories that we recommend replacing common proprietary applications. Ceasing to use proprietary applications is a good way to start migrating to freedom.

Privacy

Operating systems

We have a separate list for each operating system because some free replacements don't run on all the operating system. After you replace the nonfree apps, how about replacing the nonfree system with a free GNU/Linux distribution next? For your freedom's sake.

Free operating systems

Non-FSDG compliant distributions

Distros that don't follow the free system distribution guidelines (FSDG).

Nonfree operating systems

Hardware replacement

Computer and video game console emulators

See Computer and video game console emulators.

Games for video game consoles
