Yeah well, it was convenient to dismiss radical free software ideas by telling everyone it's obsolete ๐ thus calling that "traditional"
I'm rocking a Thinkpad x200t running GNU boot bios and parabola GNU+Linux-Libre with DWM free from soystem-d and I program C and C++ in emacs
Emacs, icecat, guix, parabola, c, c++. Stallman. What are the others in that quadrant?

TS, JS, Java, and Codium are proprietary?
At work I'm the only dude that uses Windows and Linux. Everyone else uses Macs.
We're stuck on Mac at work and I hate it.
I had jobs like that. Productivity drops hard.

Freedom is to proprietary as libertarian is to authoritarian. Tradition is to distruption as political right is to political left. Better would be for the x axis to be left-to-right disruption->tradition and the y axis to be bottom-to-top freedom->proprietary. So, rotated 90ยฐ counterclockwise and then mirrored left-to-right.
Is bit keeper even still around anymore?
What's the logo between Guix and C?
parabola linux
