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?

Disagree. Their priorities are backwards.

Company A releases a product, it runs closed-source proprietary firmware on-board, and it can't be updated by the user even if bugs or compatibility issues are found later on in the product's life cycle.

Company B releases a product, it runs closed-source proprietary firmware on-board, but it can be updated by the user if bugs or compatibility issues are found later on in the product's life cycle.

According to the FSF, product A gets the stamp of approval, product B doesn't. That makes no sense.
