I created these guides as I was dispondent in the direction the world is going and feeling helpless. Besides the political movements, I feel the next best thing is to promote businesses that don’t prioritise profits over people.
The starting point is moving away from big tech, but the intention of the movement is to extend to other products and industries.
I have subsequently created a website after the popularity of these infographic guides with far more detail:

Hope this helps you, friends or family, make the switch!
For gaming OS I really have to point CachyOS, their “somewhere in the middle between pure Arch and SteamOS” approach makes it a really good gaming option. I’ve been trying it for over an year with zero regrets.
And Spotify as a music streaming alternative?? Really?! 👀
Will all the crap that they keep on making over and over again?
Where is Spotify listed on this guide?

Spotify is an alternative, but it doesn’t come recommended (in the guide or the website) and has a huge disclaimer to their name. https://purchasewithpurpose.io/software/D5JUoM1dZysf7JJgTAWXy/
The reality is that most people know about Spotify, so it’s better to educate people as to why they aren’t a good option rather than not mention them at all.
Actually it’s on the website. Hence my reaction.
It users don’t actually click the more info to see the details, all they see is that it’s in the list.
Still, fully agree with the educate and warn part.
I get your point. I’ll look at adding the disclaimer to the category list as well to help educate without needing to click into the tool.
Oh, and for an easier transition from Windows, on my personal point of view, Mint is great but I would go with KDE Neon instead of Ubuntu.
