Why install anything but an ENTIRELY free distibution of Gnu/linux-Libre?
>why bother if not entirely free as recommended by the fsf.org and gnu.org?
click below link to get an entirely free distro!
https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros
it is about freedom, the convenience and better quality are just byproducts
>>51240114
Is the distro in that pic Trisquel?
How different is it from say Debian? Does it have a package manager like Synaptic?
Because I like salvaging old hardware and I'd prefer my wifi to work without a stupid dongle sticking out?
You can make a pretty strong argument against AmazonBuntu, the case against Debian is pretty weak.
Because "free software" doesn't exist I suppose.
oh look another Linux distro thread
>>51240278
go back to your speccyfag thread

You piece of shit, suck a cock faggot

>Why install anything but an ENTIRELY free distibution of Gnu/linux-Libre?
Because some people believe in freedom of choice and not freedom as defined by an autistic turd.
>>51240536
No, freedom means do only what I say
>>51240114
Hi ch23 get an n9
Because my system needs proprietary drivers to function properly.
>>51240114
Because the fsf is not a real authority on anything.
Because none of them were up-to-date enough for KVM shenanigans.
>>51240219
pretty much the same as debian but more noob-friendly.
>>51240114
Because ENTIRELY free distibution of Gnu/linux-Libre have shiity drivers, shitty artwork and themes, shitty browser. no flash support etc. etc.
>>51240219
it's debian with a different name.
>>51244542
I didn't think the it could get any more noob-friendly.
>>51244855
>no flash support
i don't see a problem with that.
>>51240114
I would, but my desktop graphics card does not work with deblobed drivers and my laptop wifi also needs proprietary bullshit.
When I have money to buy proper hardware, I'll be free.
>>51244855
>no flash support etc. etc.
Nothing wrong with that.
>>51244855
>Gnu/linux-Libre have shiity drivers
Mostly just missing implementations for blobs. Why do you buy undocumented hardware?
>shitty artwork and themes
you probably customize that anyway
>shitty browser.
icecat is just firefox without the DRM bullshit, ads and whatever bullshit they have been adding lately. There is nothing wrong with it.
>no flash support
pretty good
>>51240114
because i want to use my wireless if I want to.
Windows gives me the freedom to run whatever program I want.
>>51245656
>i want to use my wireless if I want to.
Then you should get a wifi that works with free software, otherwise you are at the mercy of who ever makes the proprietary driver.
>>51240114
because even if I flashed Libreboot and installed Trisquel, I still wouldn't be able to say that my machine never runs proprietary binaries anymore
Not being able to run libre-kernel beyond 3.16. Otherwise Trisquel is pretty based.
>>51245104
and no mention of "nonfree" in its sources.list
>>51240219
>>51245104
Wrong.
Trisquel is based on Ubuntu.
Gnewsense is based upon Debian.
>>51240114
Because it's garbage.
>>51247774
wat?
>>51245820
>I still wouldn't be able to say that my machine never runs proprietary binaries anymore.
Well of course not. It can all be done away with a simple PPA. I've ran MakeMKV on Trisquel

So just compile your own.
But I am desu senpai, parabola gnu+Linux here
