Something else probably no-one other than me will never need to know: the #DebianLibre live DVD/USB system, while it runs a kernel without proprietary blobs within the live environment itself, installs a kernel *with* proprietary blobs to the hard drive when you run the installer. If you want a #LinuxLibre kernel on the eventual installed system, you have to do some manual fiddling with the apt configuration.
#LinuxLibre
If I may, I'd like to nominate the Free Software Foundation Latin America for the list: a group that advocates for users' essential freedoms in our region and, globally, leads the cleaning of every #Linux release, resulting in GNU Linux-libre, the truly free operating system kernel. :freedo: :fsfla1:

@juliacdelafuente por puntualizar :thaenkin:
100% libre no es ningún portátil de @slimbook .
WiFi, bluetooth y gráfica requerirán de firmware en forma de binario cerrado. (Seguramente, si el procesador es intel, tb el procesador)
Lo digo sin acritud, que mi portátil es slimbook, equipos potentes totalmente libres los hay de sobremesa, como los de raptor cs https://www.raptorcs.com/TALOSII/
El #mntreform es bastante libre tb, aunque la gráfica requiere de firmware cerrado.
What’s the state of the art for linux-libre compatible wifi in 2025? did a quick web research on this but haven’t found much besides the usual ath9k_htc hardware that’s completely libre.
Bom dia pessoal, de volta ao Trisquel Gnu 12 RC1 :)
Wanna test the Aramo (T11) to Ecne (T12) upgrade?
You might want to check this DIY script guide.

Let me know how it works for you!
Happy GNU year! 🥳 :blobcattoot:
@janriemer well... conversation has derived to "I say only Linux! Blah blah blah"
I guess there are holy places everywhere Xd
I'm one of those saying GNU/Linux , I think it's more descriptive of a system.
If I hear only #Linux I think about #android or even #postmarketos ...
If I hear #GNU/Linux I think about #debian etc.
But ecosystem is rich enough! I love more to hear about #gnu / #linuxlibre or #gnuhurd...
But hey! I dont care how you say it!
Holy places and criticism everywhere, true.

@linux@lemmy.eco.br Uma valiosa dica é pesquisar se dispositivos funcionam com software livre, inclusive com o kernel citado (que nem sempre é), se infelizmente demandam firmware privativo ou se nem assim, em https://h-node.org/bluetooth/catalogue/pt (ligação para a seção :bluetooth: ) e também relatar caso tenha informações novas. :dukeThumbsUp: :fsf:
