As per fsf only those linux distributions are 100% free:

Dragora
Dyne
Guix
Hyperbola
Parabola
PureOS
Trisquel
Ututo
libreCMC
ProteanOS

Do you agree or no?

I see a lot of people that want to switch from windows to a linux distro or a open os. But from what i see they tend to migrate to another black boxed/closed os.

What is a trully free os that doesnt included any closed code/binary blobs/closed drivers etc.

Just 100% free open code, no traps.

What are the options and what should one go with if they want fully free os that rejects any closed code?

Explain then why gnu-linux libre kernel exists if linux kernel is totally free?

    I don't know, they seem to scrub everything related to firmware loading and more. A whole while ago, the kernel contained blobs. Those are moved to the Linux firmware project and no longer part of the kernel l.

    So, you are the one here claiming stuff. Proof it. Where is the firmware in the kernel tree?

    You claimed there are binary firmware blobs in the Kernel tree. And the kernel is not free. That is your claim. Proof it!

    I am building my kernel from sources. I am writing Kernel modules. I damn well know what in the kernel is.

    So, come on. If this such a critical issue that you will for sure have no issues to proof it.
