NEED HELP FORMING A LIST OF ALTERNATIVE ONLINE SERVICES

posted 95 days ago by VikingBerserker 95 days ago by VikingBerserker +24 / -0

As an IT guy who supports a couple dozen offices I'm already getting asked by clients over the last 48 hours what alternatives are out there... Please give feedback on below categories for alternatives to the big tech companies. I just bought a relevant domain name and will create a page that provides this info once collected. Will share with the masses!

should be stickied but mods won't do it

Social media: gab
YouTube: bitchute, LRBY, peertube instances (like video.maga.host)

OS:
- ubuntu - what you give to your infant
- debian - the average person's OS (just pick the KDE desktop)
- arch - easy enough if you follow a video guide (use youtube-dl!)
- gentoo - there's a reason its a meme, but its super-powerful once its working

PC:
AMD CPU
AMD GPU (open source drivers built-in on linux)
Atheros WiFi (open source drivers built-in on linux)

Phone: Librem USA (two kilobux, only us made phone?), gab phone?

TV media player:
UK-made raspberrypi with kodi+retropie
Make sure you buy from a UK seller to get a made-in-UK one rather than chyna.

(is anyone having formatting issues with this post?)
