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?

    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.

          I’m responding to this:

          kernel is not free it ships with blobs/proprietary crap etc

          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:

          • MP3 playback
          • use for wine (wine is Foss, but almost no windows executables are)
          • practically no WiFi
          • no discord
          • no zoom
          • no widevine
          • no ms teams working properly

          Drawing a hard line in the sand about FOSS is possible, but you must give up many modern conveniences.
