    LXNews covers everything to do with the Linux kernel, Android, free and open source software, the web, digital rights and free culture. We also cover proprietary software, companies and international politics where those intersect with the aforementioned issues. We believe that software freedom is worthless without personal freedom both as a citizen and as a consumer.
