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?

    I’m responding to this:

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

    That is not true.

    lol i’m sure the average joe who switches from windows to you name what linux distro does this by himself

    Neither are 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.
