🗽 What is Free Software?

Free software is software whose source code can be read, copied, modified, and developed by the community.

So why do we prefer free software?

In the computer environment, the resources are unlimited and you can create the same thing with others by thinking and coding. Therefore, it cannot be property. When you use non-free software, you cannot fully master it, only developers can modify, share or view the source code and access the codes in it. You often see endless micropayments in this type of software. The developer can force you to do things you don't want for profit. Worse still, you are prohibited from copying the software you think you have bought due to copyright (Copyright) and sending it even to your friend (DRM). Copyrights are enforced by law, you can be sued and fined if you don't comply with the developer's copyrights. In free software, you can view, modify, and share the source code of the software. For example, you can make your own drawing program by taking and modifying the source code of Krita, a drawing program.

Is this type of software safe?

It is advantageous in detecting and intervening malicious codes compared to software with closed source (we cannot see what is inside) code. Being open source does not make it safe, but since it is open you can check for malicious code. You don't have that chance indoors.

How do we know if a software is free?

For software to be free, it must meet the following criteria:

1- Freedom of Use: Users can run, copy, distribute, review, modify and develop the source code for the purpose they want, that is, 'DRM' free (a technology used to control the use of digital content).

2- Accessibility of the source code: Source code We can say that the readable version of a software. When you want to create software, the source code is what you write in a programming language. That is, users should have the freedom to read, modify and share the source code.

3- There is no copyright protection. Thus, users can use and share the software as they wish.

4- Licensing: The use of free software is made under a certain license. This license determines what rights users have when using the software. It can be understood whether a software is free by looking at its license. The most common free software licenses include the 'GNU General Public License (GPL)' and the 'MIT' License. If you see these licenses in the License section on the page of the program you downloaded or in the installation tool, you can be sure that you are using free software.

🐧 GNU/Linux Distributions

GNU/Linux is a completely free and open source operating system in its pure form using the Linux kernel for short. We call those who center the kernel and offer it for computers or servers "distribution". You can also make your own distribution and modify existing distributions.

The website where you can access and learn about all linux distributions Distrowatch.

🐧 Ubuntu

Ubuntu "Debian" based free linux distribution under development by "Canonical". Its setup is ideal for people who want to get into linux with a graphical interface. I recommend installing the LTS version because it is stable compared to normal. You can try it on usb without printing it to your memory and installing it. It has a simpler installation than Windows, and people who have never booted can install it without fear. In the installation, you can install only the browser and some necessary programs, normally or minimally. I recommend that you enable the 3rd party software installation, there may be problems when you want to install the programs you want. Since its community is larger than other distros, you can find the solution to the problems you encounter more easily.

Ubuntu comes standard with the 'GNOME' desktop environment. You can change this via terminal if you wish. With "Ubuntu flavors" you can also use Ubuntu based distros with other desktop environments integrated.

Ubuntu comes with its own store and snapd package installer installed. You can also install flatpak appimage and install most programs on your system. You can install and run Windows programs with the Wine program.

Note: Some programs may have problems and you may not be able to use their features, so you may need to install winetricks and install the necessary Windows fonts and dll's.

🐧 Pop!_OS

📦 GNU/Linux Package Managers

📦Flatpak

Flatpak is a linux package manager where you can create user repos. Since different linux distributions have different package managers, developers have to release the software for each of them separately. Flatpak can be used in all linux distributions. Also, flatpak ensures that you do not download the same library repeatedly for software that uses the same library, and You will save storage space. You will not have problems with applications that use old libraries. In addition, programs run in isolation, protect you from conflicts, and you can install programs without sudo authorization.

  • How to Install Flatpak
    In the Linux terminal;
    Ubuntu/Debian: sudo apt install flatpak
    Arch Linux: sudo pacman -S flatpak
    Fedora: Comes already installed

After the process is finished, you can learn the version with the flatpak --version command or you can access information about all flatpak commands with the man flatpak command. We need a repository where we can install flatpak applications. We will use Flathub in this guide.

When you install flatpak, enter flatpak remotes command and check if flathub is installed, if not, we will install FlatHub.

  • Flathub Setup
    flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
    This command will install Flathub if it is not installed.
  • Flatpak App Search
    You can search for an application by entering the flatpak search command.
  • How to Install Application with Flatpak
    If you want, you can just search the application on the terminal and find its name, then install it with flatpak install (Application Name) or by pasting the install command under the program into the terminal via the Flathub site. The program will automatically download after the libraries.

If the application does not appear in your application list after installation, try logging out of your current computer session and logging in again. Alternatively, you can start it with the command flatpak run (the name of the application on Flathub).
(You can learn and copy the flathub name of the installed application with the flatpak list command)

  • How to Update Flatpak Apps
    With the flatpak update command, you can update your available applications. To update only the program you want, you can write the full name of the program at the end of the command. In the previous question, I stated how to find the name of the flatpak applications on the repo.

  • Editing Flatpak App Permissions
    We will use the Flatseal application to set the permissions of the flatpak applications we have downloaded. You can install the flatpak by saying flatpak install flatseal. You can see which flatpak application has access to what on your device and block it.

    Flatseal Flathub Page

  • How to Delete Flatpak App
    You can delete the installed application with flatpak uninstall (Application name).

👹 BSD

BSD stands for "Berkeley Software Distribution". This name is a chain of plugins for UNIX of AT&T, the source code distribution of the University of California, Berkeley. Many open source operating system projects are based on the source code distribution known as "4.4BSD-Lite"_. In addition, they include many other open source projects, notably the GNU project. BSD contains:

  • The BSD kernel includes process scheduling, memory management, symmetric multiprocessor (SMP), device drivers, and more.
  • Unlike the Linux kernel, there are many different BSD kernels in capacity and power.
  • C library is based on system API
  • The BSD C library is not based on the GNU project, it is based on Berkeley code.
  • Tools like shell, file tools compilers and linker.
  • Except for some tools, most of them are provided from their projects.
  • X Window ("X.org") system graphical display interface.

The "X Window" system used in many BSD derivatives is continued in a separate project XFree86. At the same time, Linux uses this system. BSD does not come with a "visual desktop"_ like KDE or GNOME by default. But they can also be used if desired.
BSD is generally an operating system for advanced users. Since the number of users is low, you may not find the solution of problems as easy as linux operating systems, but when it comes to security, BSD is above almost all of them.

👹 Ghost BSD

Ghost BSD is a BSD operating system that appeals to the end user. You can try without installing it on Live USB. You can easily install with "Installer" (ready installer).

• Home

Media player for Linux, MacOS and Windows The reason I recommend this over "VLC" is because mpv offers better quality images and is more configurable.

🕵 Privacy and Anonymity

Privacy and Anonymity are different from each other in the web environment. For example, when you enter the http site in a web browser, only which site you have accessed can be seen, while on the https site, the sites you enter cannot be known, we can call it privacy. letter means secure and the connection is encrypted. Anonymity, on the other hand, is that even if you know which site you are visiting, it is not known who the person is. For example, even if a person connecting to the Tor network connects to the http site, it cannot be known.

🧅 Tor

Tor stands for The Onion Router. The Tor project is an anonymity tool created by the non-profit "Tor Project", whose mission is to advance human rights and freedoms by developing free and open source anonymity and privacy protection technologies. The Tor network hides the user's real IP address by passing the user's internet traffic through "nodes" made up of volunteers around the world, and accomplishes this purpose. Thus, users cannot be tracked while surfing the web and their activities remain private.

In censored countries, many people can access the internet through Tor. It is a better method than VPN, but it is much slower in speed.

The Tor network is a network designed to hide users' past activities on the internet and to disguise their identity. However, police and other security forces can use some methods to find people using this network. For example:

Tracking of transactions: Tracking is only possible if you do not use Bridge. Turning on the Bridge setting will remove your risk of being tracked. By monitoring internet traffic, police can identify people using the Tor network. This can be done through internet service providers (ISP) and may collect users' IP addresses and other information. However, if you use a bridge (Bridge), your use of Tor will not be visible to the ISP. That way you don't have to worry about using Tor.

🧩 Plugins

Using too many add-ons increases your browser fingerprint. For this reason, I recommend you to minimize the add-ons you use.

🧩 uBlock Origin

It is the most powerful ad blocker among add-ons. If you wish, you can use it without settings or you can only block the places you do not want from the advanced settings. It also protects you against malicious software infecting websites.

🧩 Dark Reader

A plugin that automatically starts web pages with dark mode, changing the background from white even without dark mode.

🧩 Pop-Up Blocker

Pop-Up Blocker is an add-on that I strongly recommend if you are bothered by self-opening pages or pop-ups in your browser, it blocks both. When opening a window or page on the sites you want to perform some action on, the plugin will ask you whether you allow it, you can give permission to the page by saying "Allow" once, block it by saying "Deny" or say "Trust" without requiring plugin permission on that site. You can do.

🧩 Snowflake

The Snowflake plugin creates a proxy network between users. The plugin allows users to transfer some of the web traffic of other users to help a user in a censored country or region access the internet. In this way, a user in the censored region can access censored sites using the internet access of a user in another country. However, this action may affect the user's internet speed. Also, there may be a security risk when users move their internet traffic through the Snowflake plugin. Because the user's internet traffic is carried by another user, even if the user's internet traffic is encrypted, there is no guarantee of the security of the traffic carried through the Snowflake plugin.

🧩 FastForward

FastForward Open source -best-link bypass plugin on the market that allows you to automatically bypass link shorteners and redirect you directly to the original site.

🧩 YouTube Tools Theater

YouTube Tools Theater Theater mode for YouTube. Thanks to this plugin, you can see both the chat and the broadcast in full screen while watching live broadcasts.

📨 Social Network

🐘 Mastodon

Mastodon free Twitter alternative. It is decentralized, you can open your own server like in other decentralized platforms. For this reason, even if your account or server is closed, you can open another server and continue. Also, since it is a distributed platform, censorship becomes unenforceable. It uses the "Activity Pub" system to be seen by.

After installing Java, we install Prism Launcher. We choose the one we want to appear and we continue. Another screen will come up for us to choose the Java version. If you have Java installed on your computer, this screen will appear and I recommend you to choose the recommended version with an asterisk next to it. There is the amount of memory you want to give at the bottom, I recommend you to use the recommended one. We will add it, we go to the Settings>Accounts section for this, you can add Mojang, Microsoft or Offline account from the right section. Then we close this settings window. To install the Minecraft version or modpack, we enter the "Add Istance" section with the '+' icon in the upper left of the launcher and this We double click on the version we want and add it. In this section, you can download mod packs from the left section. After adding it, it will come to the launcher menu, we double-click on the version that comes to the menu and the version or mod pack starts to download. When the download is finished, you can enter the game.

Installation Linux
Except for Java installation, the same installation will be done with Windows. If the required Java version is available, we will download it from the terminal, if not from the application store.

Java terminal installation (Ubuntu/Debian)
Let's update the mirror list first by saying sudo apt update.
We can browse the versions we can install by saying apt-cache search openjdk.
We install Java 17 with sudo apt install openjdk-17-jre openjdk-17-jdk. For Minecraft 1.18+.

Important Details and Settings
Everything is ok. You downloaded the Minecraft version. When you clicked on it, the console window opened, but Minecraft did not start, because the correct Java version was not selected. So how do I know which version to choose? When you try to enter the game, in the console window that opens, it will give you a Java warning. At the top, there will be the currently selected version, and below it will be the Java versions that you need to select. To select the Java version, go to Settings>Java and press the "Auto-Detect" button. Select the required version that says (if not, install it first). Then try exiting the settings window and re-entering the game. The problem will probably be solved, if it continues, find out and investigate the error on your console. There may be problems in unofficial special versions, such as the Flatpak version. Dark mode is available, Settings> Launcher>User Interface section, you can click the Colors setting from the theme section and select "Dark".

ClamAV is a free antivirus software running on an open source terminal. ClamAV uses a database identifying malware and works with the logic of diagnosing malware and notifying you as malware if the scanned files match those in this list. . It is possible to perform scans in different settings, such as deleting or leaving the detected files.

ClamAv Download:(Windows)

We press the download button and choose whichever your windows 64 bit or 32 bit computer is below, we download it as zip.

We extract the archive to file.

Open the Powershell as an administrator and say cd (ClamAv location, you can press the location from the top in the file explorer and copy the address), we say

We enter the codes below in order

copy .\conf_examples\freshclam.conf.sample .\freshclam.conf
copy .\conf_examples\clamd.conf.sample .\clamd.conf
write.exe .\freshclam.conf
write.exe .\clamd.conf

You can close the opened word windows. Now we will load the virus database, enter the code below
.\freshclam.exe

You can get an error here. Open the ClamAv file and open the freshclam.conf file with notepad. Delete the text Example under Comment or remove the line below and save it

Re-enter the .\freshclam.exe command, wait for the download
All ok now you can use these commands to scan
.\clamscan --recursive C:\
(Here, we said scan all files on the C disk, if you write a location you want instead of C, it will scan everything in that location)

ClamAv Download:(Linux) Download command for Debian-derived Linux distros " sudo apt install clamav clam-daemon "
Then we update the database by entering the command " sudo apt install mlocale " (Combine and find database package) and " sudo updatedb ". We can update the clamav database with the command "sudo freshclam" and check its version." With the command sudo systemctl status clamav-freshclam" We can also check if the program is active.
Linux usage;
If we say man clamscan after installing the program, it will show all scan commands. We use this command to scan;
clamscan -i -r FILELOCATION (The -i command shows the harmful ones on the screen, the -r command is the delete command after it is detected.
It can be dangerous when scanning where you have important files. If you do not use -r, you will only see it).

A platform created by the makers of LBRY, you earn LBRY coins as you watch videos, so you can support your favorite content producers. If you are a Youtube content producer, I recommend the automatic synchronization feature of your videos. The videos you upload to your channel are automatically added to your Odysee channel, and moreover, the time tags in your videos are transferred. It will be a good choice for people who care about freedom of expression. The fact that Youtube is too prescriptive, endless advertisements and censorship applications becomes a reason to use Odysee.
