Hello, I’m wondering if I should use the Linux-libre kernel or if I should stay with the stock Linux kernel. I do want to remain 100% FOSS and have Libreboot installed, but, does it really matter if I use the stock kernel or not? Can the blobs from the stock kernel be a vulnerbility? My only reason for wanting to stay with the stock kernel is because its better maintained and gets audited more. But I’m really just worried about the blobs, can they do anything?

    Do you use Netflix or other services/products with DRM?

    That’s your answer.

      Beside this service (which I’m not using), any other? I briefly looked for a list but couldn’t find one.

          I’m confused, are you talking to me or OP? I didn’t ask which kernel anyone “should” use. I asked about which software does rely on a specific feature that you mentioned, namely DRM. Please clarify.
