What is free software?

Free software is software that respects the 4 software freedoms. The 4 freedoms are

Please note: Free software does not relate to monetary price. Free software can be sold or gratis (no cost)

Rules:

  1. Please keep on topic
  2. Follow the Lemmy.zip rules
  3. No memes
  4. No "circle jerking" or inflammatory posts
  5. No discussion of illegal content

Please report anything you believe to violate the rules and be sure to include rhetoric on why you think it should be removed.

If you would like to contest mod actions please DM me with your rational as to why you feel that the relivant mod action should be reversed. Remember to use rhetoric and to site any relevant sources. You will only get one chance to argue your point and continued harassment will result in a ban.

Overall this community is pretty laid back and none if the things list above normally are an issue.

QEMU - A generic and open source machine emulator and virtualizer

For anyone wondering wtf Qemu is.

Qemu is a hypervisor and a emulator

Pretty much any virtualization on Linux uses it. (More accurately, libvirt which uses qemu-kvm)

Thanks for that - I forgot that it's not as well known as other few software despite being the default virtualization software on most free software distros.
