Is there a Linux distribution that is 100% GNU?
Hello,
Is there Linux distribution(s) that is/are fully 100% based on GNU free softwares (without single proprietary)? Likely none, right? Probably gNewSense, which is non longer much active. Best regards X. |
Actively maintained. I've tried both of these and they do work.

It's fine to dislike Ubuntu (I'm not a big fan either) but let's at least get our facts straight. :) |

By the way, the Stallman link you posted is old news from 2013. As of the year 2016, Ubuntu has disabled the controversial "spyware" by default, and it is now an "opt-in" service. Let's get our facts straight. ;) http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2016/01/u...disabled-16-04 |
I've heard it said by various people over the last year, but remember @Snowpine... "We live in a post-fact and post-truth era."
Also... If it isn't "GNU" then why is it listed on the official "GNU" site and endorsed by "GNU"? |

Trisquel has become the official distro. for FSF, Stallman uses it and the developer is now the senior sysadmin for FSF. So I would say that makes it official.

interesting. Usually works well either way. One could also try stock Debian stable leave the repos at default and do not add non-free or contrib. That is pretty much free/libre. Only reason FSF does not endorse it is because the wiki tells you how to add these repos and they host non-free software in them.
