As per fsf only those linux distributions are 100% free:
Dragora
Dyne
Guix
Hyperbola
Parabola
PureOS
Trisquel
Ututo
libreCMC
ProteanOS
Do you agree or no?
I see a lot of people that want to switch from windows to a linux distro or a open os. But from what i see they tend to migrate to another black boxed/closed os.
What is a trully free os that doesnt included any closed code/binary blobs/closed drivers etc.
Just 100% free open code, no traps.
What are the options and what should one go with if they want fully free os that rejects any closed code?
Can someone educate me on why the more common ones like Debian and Arch aren’t on this list? Every single day Linux communities force me to look at computer stuff in a different light
Edit: I learned a lot and accidentally incited discourse oops
because they ship with closed source software/packages/drivers/firmware/kernel blobs etc.
most linux distros are the same trap that windows locks you into.
Yes.
Oh, come on.
What a bunch of bullshit.
Linux, first of all, is the kernel. Linux is GPL and always free.
And userspace zurück itself is about 90% free.
Of course, you can choose a 100% free os, then make sure you use a free bios and only open hardware CPU and Mainboard and memory! 09 This argument is esoteric. I am an FSF member, but I use Steam on Gentoo.
The idea behind such distro lists is to show how hard it still is to provide a really 100% open source distro.
Let me remind you, what is non free in in most systems:
Stuff most users need!
And what the fuck is I distro locking me in? I can switch my distro between boots without fucking loosing any data or configs, I can choose what to install. I can install stuff from source. How can you even try to compare this with Microsofts property black box?
Because you can not see what the microcode blob does with your CPU? The CPU you can not inspect also? Or the GPU? Or the BIOS?
kernel is not free
it ships with blobs/proprietary crap etc
if it was free gnu-linux libre wouldnt have existed
The kernel itself does not contain blobs, firmware or microcode. That is loaded after boot if you’ve chosen to do so.
lol i’m sure the average joe who switches from windows to you name what linux distro does this by himself and not the os doing it for him wtf
I’m responding to this:
That is not true.
Neither do you. And what that has to do with windows users is beyond me.
If you want gnu/herd, you’re free to install and use it. You will have no:
Drawing a hard line in the sand about FOSS is possible, but you must give up many modern conveniences.
