- Being **[free software](free_software.md)** legally but ALSO practically (well commented, not [bloated](bloat.md) and [obscured](obscurity.md) etc., so as to truly and practically enable the freedoms to study, modify etc.). This may also include attributes such as [decentralization](decentralization.md).
- Being **[free culture](free_culture.md)**, i.e. LRS programs are free as a whole, including art assets, data etc.
- **Minimizing [dependencies](dependency.md)**, even those such as standard library or relying on OS concepts such as files or threads, even indirect ones such as build systems and even non-software ones (e.g. avoiding [floating point](float.md), GPU, 64bit etc.).
- Very **[portable](portability.md)**, hardware non-discriminating, i.e. being written in a portable language ([C](c.md), [comun](comun.md) etc.), minimizing resource usage (RAM, CPU, ...) and so on.

- Being written in a **good, [suckless](suckless.md) programming language** -- which languages are acceptable is debatable, but some of them most likely include [C](c.md) (C89 or C99), [comun](comun.md), [Forth](forth.md), [Lisp](lisp.md), maybe even [Brainfuck](brainfuck.md), [Lua](lua.md), [Smalltalk](smalltalk.md), [Pascal](pascal.md) etc. On the other hand bloated languages like [Python](python.md), [JavaScript](js.md) or [Rust](rust.md) are absolutely unacceptable.
- **[Future-proof](future_proof.md)**, **[self-contained](self_contained.md)** (just compile and run, no unnecessary config files, daemons, database services, ...), [finished](finished.md) as much as possible, not controlled by anyone (should follow from other points). This may even include attributes such as physical durability and design that maximizes the devices life.
- **[Hacking](hacking.md) friendly**, repairable and inviting to improvements and customization, highly adhering to [hacker culture](hacking.md).
- Built on top of other LRS or LRS-friendly technology such as the [C99](c.md) language, comun, Unix, our own libraries etc.
