Access to computers - and anything which might teach you something about the way the world works - should be unlimited and total. Always yield to the Hands-On Imperative!

 Basic  concept , it works most of the time with the "All information should be free". The ethical side says that i should use it to improve my knowledge on how the world works, but the dark side says:" lets cook some bombs and blow something up just for fun".  If i will learn the basics of physics , math or how to make bombs it all is just information and knowledge, it depends how people will implement it. I believe that that concept must be implemented evrywhere.
 

All information should be free.

No-no and no ! If all information would be available to the public, some companies could not grow so big, some secrets just have to be obfuscated. If all information were available for free and not copyrighted/patented the level of competition on the marked will be lower than it actually is.

Mistrust authority - promote decentralization.

That thesis is so slippery, that i almost fell of my chair and fell into anarchy. Kidding. While authority is meant to serve the people , there is a small problem. Authority members are also people and in most cases they pursue their own target. Very rare there is a man who will make the nation priorities stand higher in order than his owns. Taking that in the consideration  authority could be called mistrusty in most cases, but we are all people and if the system works fine and mistrust does not go over some amount everything is OK. Decentralization brings more problems ,than fixing one by one the problems with authority.

Hackers should be judged by their hacking, not bogus criteria such as degrees, age, race, or position.

Agreed, i don not care who are you. I care only what a man can do.  I do not judge people by they skin tone, what genitals they have, how old they are  those are just descriptions of the body, main player sits in a box of bones sending electrical charges. 

You can create art and beauty on a computer.

Art is abstract. Once i have prepared for the Programming Exam , two days prior to the exam i have done some exercises and i had the solution of young japanese guy. When i opened them and started reviewing what is he doing and how i realized that :"Damn that looks good", received mental satisfaction and admired the code, how can it not be an art peace?

Computers can change your life for the better.

Agree!
Computers are all about ergonomics and simplifying our lifes, bringing entertainment, job vacancies , study opportunity . When i got my first computer i can not say that my life level spiked, but computer made my life more simpler.

 Arch Linux VS Pop_OS When comparing Arch Linux vs Pop!_OS, the Slant community recommends Arch Linux for most people. In the question“What are the best Linux distributions for desktops?” Arch Linux is ranked 1st while Pop!_OS is ranked 29th. The most important reason people chose Arch Linux is: " Arch's goal of simplicity means there's usually one preferred way to get things done - through organized and well documented configuration files. This focus, combined with the community's recognition that configuration files can be intimidating, has resulted in excellent documentation that's accessible to newcomers, and very instructive about how Linux actually works. The documentation is often so thorough that, when searching for solutions to problems while using other distributions, such as with video card drivers, oftentimes you'll find the most effective solution in the [Arch Linux wiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org/) or on the forums." Pros of Arch L

  Open Source Copyleft Licenses Both copyleft and permissive licenses allow developers to copy, modify, and redistribute code (derivative or otherwise) freely. The most important difference between the two, however, lies in how each approaches copyright privileges. While permissive licenses allow developers to include their own copyright statements, copyleft licenses provide no such privilege. Instead, copyleft license rules require all derivative works to be subject to the original license. This means that developers cannot make patent or copyright claims on the original software. Public domain This is the most permissive type of software license. When software is in the public domain, anyone can modify and use the software without any restrictions. Important to mention that a code that has not been licensed or code snippets on the internet are not automatically in public domain license. Public domain is a true representation of free/open .When copyright expires, copyright r
