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?
I think using major distros like Fedora, Ubuntu, or Debian is fine, because corporate backing often supports faster security fixes and better infrastructure.
Fedora and Debian are 100% free operating systems that only include free software.
The FSF does not like them because they include non-free firmware.
The debate is entirely how you define what is software and what is hardware.
How is it 100% free if it has non free firmware? Lol.
Your hardware is most likely not free and open source. If you use non-free hardware, it is better to have security fixes then leave it unpatched. If you are using non-free hardware it doesn’t matter how free your distro is, you still must depend on hardware blackboxes. Your hardware can directly interact with your distro and do something malicious regardless of the presence of firmware blobs.
Those distros (Fefora & Debian) are fully free, but acknowledge that hardware isn’t in most cases. And like responsible and reasonable developers they choose what is best for stability and security.
Exactly, the Intel TPM is almost certainly a literal NSA backdoor, as claimed by the Chinese government (which would explain Microsoft giving up Windows market share by requiring that for Win 11). When your CPU has its own network stack in a secure enclave that is inherently its own OS basically, how does running a pure open source OS on top of that mitigate anything?
