The hope is that this guide and website can act as a simple way to introduce newcomers - whether it's you, friends or family - into this space and try something else besides the default options!

There is also a community-driven, open-source site ( https://purchasewithpurpose.io/ ) that aims to make this even easier. This includes screenshots, ratings and a larger feature list.

Every time I post these guides, there is always feedback on things that can improve, or I got wrong. Please do share, as it is the best way for these to evolve.

This is the list with my annotations. A lit of things missing there where there are good alternatives, but it's a good start.

    Thanks for the feedback! I had to limit the options presented to avoid making the guide overwhelming. Most of those options are listed on the website - https://purchasewithpurpose.io/

    Out of interest, you circled a few options. Any reason? Or are those the tools you use?

    I also prefer your recommendations. I would add Debian and OpenBSD in the operating systems. Also Lemmy in "social media". I also believe Lagrange gemini/gopher client should be widely used.

    I prefer PieFed over Lemmy. .what are you using Gemini/gopher for?

    I haven't tried PieFed yet. Gemini/Gopher allows people to self-host a personal page without the bloat of html/css and without advertisements. I like reading personal blogs. Also Lagrange Gemini browser is just a beautiful software visually on its own.
