There doesn't exist much hardware that has fully open firmware enitely on mass market. I'm not talking about GPUs and CPUs but even WiFi dongles . The FSF is pretty hypocritical in that they're okay with closed firmware which is built into devices themselves, but they're not okay with firmware that comes as a file. This is nonsense. Also, they forbid distros which give you the ability to install non-free software even if you require it for your work, forbidding even Electron and fonts which have non-free licenses. This is not possible to live with in the modern patent world. And btw blobs not exist anymore in linux code of torvalds repo it was sepearated long time ago
