How come I don't see more anons on /g/ talking about or using distros on this list
https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html
I have trisquel on a USB and it's great. The only issue I found is it don't support my wireless card and I have to mainline the internet, which isn't that bad. So why not more of y'all have completely free distros huh?

>So why not more of y'all have completely free distros huh?
Because of issues like
>it don't support my wireless card
Also, what's the point of getting a free distro if your CPU still uses a proprietary BIOS/UEFI to boot?
>imb4 "just get libreboot!"
The issue with that is most people on /g/ (those interested in "technology") wouldn't want to use hardware that's 10 years old

That s fair enough. I guess this thread is over unless anyone else has any thing to add.
>>56313704
Fuck you for creating this dead thread.
>>56314103
Whoa man just let it die then.

Because I do not share FSF's quasi-religious fixation on licensing? I use Linux because of practical reasons.

I run Debian
Debian is used by core FSF members but the ones with only free software and non proprietary versions, I also used Trisquel, that one is pretty good too

>"old" machine
It could run MAME and PCem fine without lag

You disrespected GNU operating systems and discredit Sir Richard Stallman with an empty thread. It's expected you'll be treated like shit when you defile his work.

Looks like you answered your own question here, OP.
These Free distributions are interesting and all, but Stallman's (and FSF) quest for 100% free software just seems like a waste of time desu. There is nothing particularly good about anything GNU related aside from emacs. We don't need GCC anymore either. I will be glad when we see some distributions with any GNU desu. They will probably be less buggy.

No, you can install anything you want.chmod +x util && cp /usr/bin/
There are protections in the package manager to stop your freedoms from being violated.
>>56314489
Freedom is overrated.
>>56314595
I will be glad when we see some distributions WITHOUT any GNU
