What details/tools have you found help people transition to similar, open software from closed software, or think could help?
What details/tools have you found help people transition to similar, open software from closed software, or think could help?
I'm thinking of ways to help people move from established software to more open, flexible forms that don't lock them to another organization.

Points that can help them change to FOSS:
- Cool new features not available in proprietary alternatives
- Awareness of privacy risks & issues
- Battery life improvements
- Storage size reduction
- Security improvements
Sites that can help them find FOSS alternatives:
- https://www.opensourcealternative.to/
- https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome
- https://www.privacyguides.org/en/tools/
- https://f-droid.org/en/packages/
In my experience it's extremely hard to make someone not interested in software to try out new FOSS apps though..
