      h-node

      The FSF's long-running h-node project has recently seen an uptick in activity, and we need your help to document how well free software runs on common devices.

      By registering an account on h-node and filling out listings for your hardware, you can help newcomers to the free software movement select hardware that will make their transition as easy as possible. You can also participate in the h-node community by joining the #h-node channel on the Libera.Chat IRC network.
