If you want to play Minesweeper, check out Simon Tatham's Portable Puzzle Collection. His implementation ("Mines") is free, open source, available on a variety of platforms, and guarantees that puzzles can be solved without guessing.
Also, somehow I've only just realized that he's the creator of both PuTTY and NASM.
Minesweeper is not the point, the point is most windows people are so cucked they might pay extra for fucking minesweeper or else they get ads in the fucking brand new OS they just bought for fuck sakes what the hell
FOSS should be part of computer classes in public education. So many people grow up in a world of only proprietary software and can't comprehend anything being free without a catch.
I remember being pissed off back in the day that my school had computer classes where the curriculum explicitly said that we were to learn Microsoft Office. Imagine if your mandatory education in anything else was about learning to use a specific proprietary product. It would be weird af.
