    I know that it’s a joke, but find me a distro that doesn’t include any proprietary blobs.

      @Dehydrated this is my pet peeve everytime i try to discuss anything about linux someone interrupts me about how SOME COMPONENT is proprietary
      like yeah, the keyboard on the laptop is proprietary, so are all the ICs, come on…

        All the hardware is proprietary. The CPU, the ME in the CPU, the chipset on the mainboard, the BIOS, the RAM and SSD controllers, the TPM and everything else. Even the damn battery controller hardware and software are proprietary. It really doesn’t matter though.

          @Dehydrated the car i drive to work is entirely proprietary!
          but yeah, open source is awesome but not using something useful/good because of its license is just kinda shooting yourself in the foot IMO

        No, because Fedora DOES include proprietary blobs (for a good reason)

              Wait, you object to their feely-distributable firmware updates? Seriously? Without those, your CPU is vulnerable to exploits and known hacks.

          I mean we have a monolithic kernel, with every single line of code running as root, that contains proprietary garbage. Thats even worse than Windows if you ask me, where you can see the drivers processes, which means they are seperate processes.

          I will soon compile my own kernel, because I dont really feel good with running such a bloated piece of bad code on my standard intel laptop.
