foss-alternatives
This contains a spreadsheet with good alternatives to non-free programs.
The rating system mostly depends on how much we'd recommend it to someone who isn't already using a free alternative.
If you use a program that's on this list, but at like 2/5, this does NOT mean that you should switch to something at 5/5.
It mainly just means that the program may be difficult to use for beginners, or have some other unwanted side-effects, like minor privacy/freedom concenrns.
For example Trisquel, a great OS which is one of the few fully FSDG compliant operating systems, only has a 1/5, because a regular user, who was using Windows for all their life might have an unpleasant suprise trying to use Trisquel, and being confused why their hardware doesn't work or their non-free software not working.
If you have a suggestion or don't agree with a rating or alternative, please create an issue, or feel free to create a pull request with your changes already applied.
