Just a reminder #OpenOffice still exists! openoffice.apache.org/blog/ann… I personally still prefer it over #LibreOffice. I'm all for less churn, more stability, and smaller learning curves. I still use both, though, as the improvements to LibreOffice #Draw, particularly the ability to open #Microsoft #Visio files is useful for me. #Apache #FreeSoftware #GNU #Linux (and #windows & #MacOS too if you must) -

GNU Linux-libre 6.1 is out! I've pushed the .deb and .rpm updates, which should become visible in a package manager near you once the mirrors sync. https://www.fsfla.org/ikiwiki/selibre/linux-libre/ This will be a long-term support (LTS) kernel but, in a change from the past, I'll leave the linux-libre-lts package tracking the 5.15 series until 6.2 comes out in February. I think this will be the general process going forward as it provides time for the newly released version to stabilize before making it LTS. #GNU #linux

#GNU #Linux-libre
https://linux-libre.fsfla.org/
because, unlike Torvalds' and K-H's distributions of #Linux, every one of its pieces respects users' essential software freedoms, and because it doesn't mislead anyone into believing a nonfree kernel is a whole operating system -

ricardo, bacana você se preocupar com isso.
a campanha de desinformação para esconder ou domar nossa luta pela liberdade no meio digital é bastante prejudicial e a questão é muito mais importante do que a maior parte das pessoas se dá conta.
mas ainda que seja uma questão de desinformação com impacto na liberdade de todos nós, é também uma questão de liberdade de expressão de posição política. embora eu discorde da posição de quem, por ignorância ou má fé, toma o lado dos exploradores e da falsa liberdade que impulsionam o #linux, em detrimento da defesa das liberdades dos usuários que move o #gnu, não me parece adequado censurar a expressão dessa posição, ainda que ela seja hostil à nossa luta.
dada essa posição de não-censura, resta-nos aproveitar a oportunidade que ela nós dá: a maior parte das pessoas que embarca no discurso pseudoapolítico da maioria e chama o sistema de linux o faz não por uma vontade de suprimir a luta pela liberdade, mas por ter acreditado nas versões ou de que nossa luta é indesejável, ou de que o linux a representa. cada menção injusta e potencialmente desinformada nos dá uma oportunidade de informar não só ao interlocutor, ignorante ou malicioso, mas aos demais participantes da conversa, entre os quais sempre há de haver pessoas dispostas a aprender, a perceber que não estão representadas pela posição majoritária, que nem é neutra mas tenta se passar como tal, e assim se somar à nossa luta -

you could share files between computers made to run only linux, by writing and loading kernel modules that used any of the many layers of networking protocols implemented in it.
now, if you meant #GNU or Android operating system userlands, both of which run on top of the kernel #Linux you named (according to its own primary author, by itself the kernel gets you nowhere), many options are available: copying files around with rsync/ssh, sftp/scp; making filesystems available with nfs, samba/cifs, sshfs; sharing filesystems with ceph, gcluster; replicating storage or accessing remote storage with nbd/rbd; sending and receiving files manually over torrents, GNU jami, ...
there are so many things you might mean by "file share" that there's no way to make a single recommendation of best practices, it really depends on what you're trying to do -

"It's a UNIX system! I know this!" -- Lex, in Jurassic Park
yeah, don't be like Lex.
clever girl, but #GNU's Not Unix. it's far better than Unix.
and yeah, stay away from Linux. it contains blobs that are hostile to users.
GNU Linux-libre cleans them up.
moreover, according to the primary author and maintainer of the kernel Linux, "a kernel by itself gets you nowhere. To get a working system you need a shell, compilers, a library etc. These are separate parts and may be under a stricter (or even looser) copyright. Most of the tools used with linux are GNU software and are under the GNU copyleft"
Lex would feel at home with GNU/Linux-libre
Neo wouldn't have been stuck in the Matrix with GNU/Linux-libre
