I Love Free Software Day 2026

14. February 2026

Also this year I want to celebrate I Love Free Software Day. Thanks to the whole FOSS community for another year of open software and knowledge sharing!

Now to the three project I want to thank this year <3

End of 10

This year I made it even more special, by installing Debian on my moms laptop. The main reason for this was that I had the choice between updating Windows 11 or installing Linux. I did not even check if the laptop supports Windows 11 or if it was supposed to become e-trash. I no longer use Windows since many many happy years, except in some VMs to try my developed games. But reading all the (bad) news about AI and spyware in Windows, the choice was easy. Time will tell if my mom will like it or not, but I guess it will be fine. I already installed Ubuntu on her old laptop a few years ago and getting some extra years out of it.

Help your family an friends to free their devices and get more years out of them! You can find more info on how to switch from Windows to Linux on End of 10.

Inkscape

The last months I learned more about Inkscape and how to use it. I really like the design, functionality and how easy it is to draw nice looking graphics. Most of my graphical works for my latest game 99managers.org where made with it. I really like how the new logo and the background in the game turned out!

To support Inkscape, you can donate and contribute.

Neovim

Neovim is now my main editor and I use it for everything. It is amazing to see how modal editors can make typing text fun and a challenge. Complex modifications can be done in a few keystrokes and macros can do all the rest. Now I never want to leave the terminal again.

Here you can donate and contribute to Neovim.

Every feedback is welcome
