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?
Trisquel is an Ubuntu base, with all non-free and binary-blobs removed.
Any spyware, data harvesting, tracking, advertising, or hidden code has been removed.
This also means some hardware will not work under Trisquel, because that hardware relied on drivers which were a blob of unreadable code.

I think everyone running Linux should try an FSF endorsed distro, and have it as a general goal to move towards over time. The easy way, is to try it first on a LiveUSB or in a VM.
To really see these distros shine, they need to be used on hardware that has open-drivers available.
To find functional open-hardware, you can use the same hardware models that various online, libre, hardware-retailers are using, such as:
minifree.org
vikings.net
thinkpenguin.com
Or trawl through h-node.org to decipher what may work.

A second 100% libre laptop or box is a good idea for sensitive or personal content.
