Parabola GNU/Linux-libre is a free software community built, advanced user, Arch-derived distribution that aims to remove problematic non-free components that wreck havoc on a users freedom and control of the PC.

• Parabola GNU/Linux-libre is a Free Software Foundation endorsed distribution made up of only 100% free software


• Based on the popular Arch distribution (without the non-free components)


• Ships on a fast USB flash drive with the data integrity of written images properly verified


• We also authenticate images against the developers GPG keys to ensure authenticity of the images


• Security conscious customers are also encouraged to run through our online instructions for authenticating the image written to the USB flash drive to ensure it contains what we shipped and matches what the GNU/Linux-libre developers intended, in other words, that the flash drive has not been intercepted by a significant adversary and tampered with or otherwise modified to include a backdoor or other malicious software

* Please note that while Parabola GNU/Linux-libre has support for a lot of hardware not all hardware is created equal and the user experience may suffer on systems that aren't fully supported or designed for GNU/Linux. If you need advice on the best hardware to get feel free to contact our support team.

* Please also note that installation support is not included in this offering as the distribution is aimed at more advanced users and may require significant reading of documentation and possibly contact with other Parabola GNU/Linux-libre users via the official IRC channel in order to figure out how to get around any current undocumented bugs in the distribution. As Parabola GNU/Linux-libre is a rolling release distribution that aims to be more up to date than easy to use users should expect to encounter more difficulty during the installation and use.

Guix System is an advanced distribution of the GNU operating system. It uses the Linux-libre kernel, and support for the Hurd is being worked on. As a GNU distribution, it is committed to respecting and enhancing the freedom of its users. As such, it adheres to the GNU Free System Distribution Guidelines.

Some of the advantages of the GNU Guix System include:

• State-of-the-art package management features such as transactional upgrades and roll-backs, reproducible build environments, unprivileged package management, and per-user profiles


• Supports stateless, reproducible operating system configurations


• Developed by volunteers around the world under the umbrella of the GNU Project

* Please note that installation support is not included and that the nature of this operating system at this time means that there is severely limited hardware support. This is particularly true if you are looking at trying out the GNU Guix System on random hardware. We do not currently list the GNU Guix System as supported on any hardware in our catalog, but much of it is exactly the hardware you will need if you plan to or want to attempt to utilize the GNU Guix System. If you have any questions about acquiring compatible hardware contact our support team.

GNU Guix focuses on respecting the user’s computing freedom. It builds around the kernel Linux-libre, which means that only hardware for which free software drivers and firmware exist is supported. Nowadays, a wide range of off-the-shelf hardware is supported on GNU/Linux-libre—from keyboards to graphics cards to scanners and Ethernet controllers. Unfortunately, there are still areas where hardware vendors deny users control over their own computing, and such hardware is not supported on Guix System.

Does using the government's dirty fiat embarrass you? Do you need a freedom friendly solution to your transactional woes? If you are afraid the world is going to end and all that cryptocurrency you've been saving up will eventually disappear then we've got a solution for you! Diversify your assets by picking up some GNU (slash) Linux coins tokens!

There are some great side benefits to picking up GNU (slash) Linux Coin Token. No longer will people look at you funny for talking about societal collapse or the fraud that is government. Instead you'll get to have an embarrassing conversation about how GNU (slash) Linux is the correct terminology (don't mind that they still won't know what you're talking about). With one of our GNU (slash) Linux Coins tokens you'll be better prepared to evangelize GNU (slash) Linux and advocate for everybody to utilize free software.

Don't just use free software! Make it your mission in life to get people saying GNU (slash) Linux! Cause only then will people know that Linux is more than just gratis. GNU/Linux is libre too!

* Accepted by true believers everywhere!

Get your silver plated novelty token and start talking GNU (slash) Linux today.. or some time in the future when the postal service decides to actually start delivering again and stops wasting its time taking part in FBI raids of our communities churches, homes, and businesses over BS cryptocurrency charges (crypto is just the excuse, freedom and politics is the fundamental underlying reason for these unconscionable raids on peaceful people). You may think I'm kidding, but no, this part isn't a joke. I'm not. Watch the March 16, 2021 FBI raid (2nd BS FBI raid in 5 years) of which was one part in an attack targeting 19 properties and six individuals advocating freedom and peaceful resistance (Free State Project & related freedom migration movements, ie forkfest.party) even against a violent state: The Crypto 6.

Each coin token is a 33.7mm silver-plated bronze (or possibly copper) and shows the GNU head on one side with RMS where a trademark would normally go along with the phrase "Free as in Freedom". The reverse side shows Tux the penguin and the phrase "In Tux we trust".

* Note (cause government agents are too stupid to recognize what this is): This GNU (slash) Linux Coin token is not an actual currency, not intended to be advertised as such, and is recognized by techies everywhere as a joke.

* Linux is a registered trademark of Linus Torvalds.

* GNU is a registered trademark of the Free Software Foundation.

* A quantity of 1 is one coin token

* The censored wording here is the result of convictions of others by the US government who claim exclusive use of the word coin to mean US currency even though the word in practical usage expands far beyond US currency to include foreign currencies and novelty tokens.

Please note this item is not available for shipping to those outside the United States due to customs restrictions in most countries.

We know you already have a Stuffed Baby GNU, but don't you think you aught to consider adding a stuffed Tux to your collection too? After all he's a pretty critical component of the pair! This cuddly plush penguin really wants to be part of your family. Tux is just 5-6" tall and will fit nicely next to your baby GNU!

Tux is the mascot of the Linux kernel, a core component at the heart of every GNU/Linux system. The GNU project pre-dates Linux and consists of the core collection of free software that makes up a GNU/Linux distribution. The project has a slightly less imaginative mascot represented by a GNU. However, it's name is quite entertaining: GNU is a recursive acronym for "GNU's Not Unix!".

Note: The GNU in the picture to the right is NOT included in this purchase. What you are getting is JUST a stuffed penguin, Mr Tux. If we're mistaken and you don't already have a GNU consider checking out the Free Software Foundation's shop. The FSF sells a Stuffed Baby GNU. It's purchase helps to fund the Free Software Foundation whose mission includes the promotion of free software, the GNU project, and the ideals thereof!
