The important thing to remember is that the Principle of Libre software is 100% but sadly it's not always possible in practice, when it comes to hardware.

Basically you have no Libre hardware OEM with deep pockets to make all Libre hardware.

And as long as the hardware is not Libre your kernel will never be fully Libre. It's physically not possible with today's proprietary hardware.

Only if the OEM themselves (AMD, Intel, Hp, Lenovo etc) fully open sourced the hardware would it be possible. CPU, wireless tech, trackpads, usb c, FireWire etc.

Until then the best you can do is Libre software for apps and the few open source driver's that exist. In that sense most distros ARE libre.

Thanks for the video. I have an important point of view to add: hardware is not free, rather the polar opposite of free. To start designing a computer you need to sign a shitload of NDAs, you fab the chips and you protect them with your life.

How can we ever have free software without free hardware? Recently there has been an uprising on Open HW, which is great, but the big fab boys like TSMC and Samsung don't care.

I think that PureOS simply uses the official Debian kernel as it is already currated from nonfree blobs by the Debian team. This information can be found on the fsf webpage about "why we dont endorse other systems" : "Debian is the only common non-endorsed distribution to keep nonfree blobs out of its main distribution."

So I think PureOS is a preconfigured Debian clone with only a "main" branch in its repositories (idk however why they ship the debian kernel over linux-libre if thats the case (even though i know that linux-libre suppress all things related to non free stuff such as missing nonfree firmware error messages and so on))

I have been using guix for some time now. I think this type of distribution is the future for people that want to use free software (not just consume it, which I would call the fedora way). Through guix I have been learning about scheme programming which is nice, too. It is pretty easy in guix to add packages if you need them, including nonfree software via third party repos. Which, i think is a good approach: keep the defaults free but make it easy enough for users to install whatever they like to use so they can do it on their own or even help others do so.

Sadder thing is the fsf has turned into a fkng church and off thier rocker.

There is absolutely no reason to avoid a distro simply because it gives you choices, that is an infringement of what I could do with MY machine, exactly what the fsf says they stand for.

I get if it's default proprietary, but limiting choices is never the right move. This kind of crap drives more people away from free philosophy than it does bring people in.

FSF shouldn’t be endorsing any distribution since their rules only allow using software that could put users at risk. They could instead recommended software to encourage developers to build versions of software with anything that could be determined to be non-free.

KDE Software and apps probably aren't endorsed by the FSF because it uses QT technology which is closed-source although QT Designer (the QT equivalent to GNOME Builder) is open-source since it's inception.

As for the reason for PureOS shipping GNOME Web out of the box. this is because GNOME Web is presently the only GTK web browser which supports a mobile-phone view of which Firefox does not (presently) support yet alone Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge and the QT equivalent to GNOME Web on phones is KDE's Anglefish browser but also GNOME Web is better integrated into GNOME DE versions 3, 40, 41 and 42 unlike Firefox which still uses the GTK2 toolkit.

JCMH Programming

@William Clifton Firefox doesn't use Motif, that is an outdated closed source GUI library.

William Clifton

I just want to clear up that I got my fact hunting wrong and mis-memorised what I had previously looked up. I must have thought when typing this that "development by the QT company is ≠ to being an open-source software" which is wrong; so thanks for fact-checking my first paragraph but I do believe that the 2nd paragraph is still correct except for that Mozilla Firefox/Thunderbird does not use the GTK2 toolkit but rather "Motif" (according to Wikipedia)

Stallman is crazy, respect his programs but watch his words closely.

He claims it all started with wanting choices, HE wanted to control HIS machine.

Now he's more like a moral crusader, out to TAKE AWAY CHOICES (otherwise gentoo and arch would be on the list, an asterisk would be acceptable).

It's my machine Richard, and right now its all Libre except the hardware (AMD PSP, Nvidia card). But I choose that, and would never bash someone for choosing something else, not saying "GNU", or any if the other infringements you would have on OUR ability to control OUR machines, as we see fit; or worse on language and free speech as well.

yes,I agree with you.the true free is alow people using not free things, or make not free things if who not like them, dont use,or do someing about, say to people about free software, that is ok to me.in some sence im even ok with those crazy people do those crasy things or speeks,becuse it make me see the bad things and its intresting. thanks them play bad people whatever they might be.

FSF and GNU never really felt right to me. Demanding to be part of the name even when it just made it elitist, confusing, and stupid sounding. Stallmans many controveries while Linus just seems to be working hard in the shadows actually getting stuff done. I have seen people attempt to effectively copyright troll with trying to take control of the word "free", but I am not sure that the FSF supports this sort of behaviour. After hearing Linus basically call the FSF a bunch of liars that no one should support, I cannot say I really know anything or am basing my irrational dislike on anything solid, but I just dont really like gnu/fsf and hever never heard anything about them that did not increase this dislike.

Andrew Wigglesworth

@1 Richard Stallman is the reason that the Linux kernel is free software and could be used in the GNU operating system. ie. he personally asked for it to be freed to be distributed in GNU.

Andrew Wigglesworth

@Jonathon Wisnoski Sadly YT deleted the previous person's comment and I cannot see what he really wrote to you, but Stallman is a pretty big and impressive figure in the software community, I would even say that he contributed historically to software development and tools that support the whole world nowadays. While he is the theme of many gnu jokes, or in general, linux jokes, he is foremost the creator of the gnu project, which includes many of the core utilities, which Linus decided to use in order to create his own operating system and linux users are even using to this day. He did not write everything, but he layed a solid code base for all of those tools to be used and upgraded upon, the same is with Linus, today he contributes around 1% for the kernel. He also created the FSF and during this period helped around in the community, trying to create standards for things like free software and open source software. It's sad however that Stallman bounces to extremes and thinks that if someone is using his software, he should mention it. Imagine if we had to call humans air/water/human.

Andrew Wigglesworth

It's free as in freedom. These are the "four essential freedoms" promoted by the Free Software Foundation.

- The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose (freedom 0).
- The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does your computing as you wish (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
- The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help others (freedom 2).
- The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others (freedom 3). By doing this you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changes. Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

Well, yes it can be. If you use the main repos and are very aware about advice put on websites and forums etc., then you can maintain Debian GNU/Linux as a free software system.

The problem comes with the contrib and non-free repos, which though they are argued to be not part of the Debian project, are so closely allied, are mentioned in the Debian wiki, promoted on Debian forums that it becomes confusing. It is very common for users to be advised to "update" their apt sources to include the contrib and non-free repos.

All this means that it is difficult for the FSF to completely endorse Debian GNU/Linux.

This is all speaking as a free software Debian GNU/Linux user who is now interested in putting Guix on his next machine (whenever that might be).

Complete freedom would result into chaos which would rob the freedom of others. There is a common saying that ones freedom ends where the freedom of another one starts.
