Yes it is, in a sense, a customized Manjaro. We push this trade-free idea and ship the OS with packages that are "trade-free", plus install as default such packages. On top of that we have our own library trade-free apps https://www.tromjaro.com/apps/ that anyone can install directly from our website. We d a lot of tweaks to make the desktop faster and more usable.

Yes. Trade-Free would mean you provide your software and ask nothing in return. No money, not user data, you inject no ads into your software (so no attention trading), and so forth. You simply provide and expect nothing in return.

We understand that, but we can't be so strict about the trade-free idea else we won't find much software out there that's trade-free. Licenses do add a limitation (a trade) to those who want to modify the software, such as you mentioned. Some ask you to give credit to the source project if you fork it, and so forth. I'd like to see these licenses being dropped and simply allow anyone use the software as they wish, although I fully understand it can be abused by corporations especially. But our "movement" is more about the "educational" aspect of it. Plus, we can filter out a lot of crapware, freeware, and the like, via this trade-free label.

Never heard of it, I'll have a look. Thanks.
