your Linux distro isn't FREE! (these are)

hello everybody this is techa what we're hello everybody this is techa what we're going to be doing in this video is going to be doing in this video is going to be doing in this video is talking about freedom specifically the talking about freedom specifically the talking about freedom specifically the free software foundation who they are free software foundation who they are free software foundation who they are and do a quick rundown of the list of and do a quick rundown of the list of and do a quick rundown of the list of distributions that actually follow the distributions that actually follow the distributions that actually follow the principles of foss this list is shorter principles of foss this list is shorter principles of foss this list is shorter than you might think and we're going to than you might think and we're going to than you might think and we're going to be missing many familiar faces we've be missing many familiar faces we've be missing many familiar faces we've come to know and have some very civil come to know and have some very civil come to know and have some very civil discussions about so jumping right in discussions about so jumping right in discussions about so jumping right in the free software foundation is a the free software foundation is a the free software foundation is a non-profit that fights to promote non-profit that fights to promote non-profit that fights to promote digital rights and free software and digital rights and free software and digital rights and free software and free as in freedom by the way the free free as in freedom by the way the free free as in freedom by the way the free software foundation is the main sponsor software foundation is the main sponsor software foundation is the main sponsor of the gnu project which makes of the gnu project which makes of the gnu project which makes most of the core utilities that a most of the core utilities that a most of the core utilities that a overwhelming amount of linux overwhelming amount of linux overwhelming amount of linux distributions use many basic commands distributions use many basic commands distributions use many basic commands you might use like chmod for managing you might use like chmod for managing you might use like chmod for managing permissions mkdir for making directories permissions mkdir for making directories permissions mkdir for making directories and even bare basic commands like ls ln and even bare basic commands like ls ln and even bare basic commands like ls ln print working directory print working directory print working directory are all gnu core utilities they also are all gnu core utilities they also are all gnu core utilities they also publish all the new licenses including publish all the new licenses including publish all the new licenses including the gpl lgpl agpl and the fdl and they the gpl lgpl agpl and the fdl and they the gpl lgpl agpl and the fdl and they command to promote free software against command to promote free software against command to promote free software against things that violate user freedoms such things that violate user freedoms such things that violate user freedoms such as drm software patents and a as drm software patents and a as drm software patents and a treacherous computing so it's no treacherous computing so it's no treacherous computing so it's no surprise that they don't really endorse surprise that they don't really endorse surprise that they don't really endorse a majority of linux distributions and a majority of linux distributions and a majority of linux distributions and some for really silly reasons in my some for really silly reasons in my some for really silly reasons in my opinion opinion opinion but there are distros that make sense but there are distros that make sense but there are distros that make sense not to be endorsed for example not to be endorsed for example not to be endorsed for example distributions that shift proprietary or distributions that shift proprietary or distributions that shift proprietary or non-free applications out of the box or

non-free applications out of the box or non-free applications out of the box or even those weird distros that ship even those weird distros that ship even those weird distros that ship google chrome as the default web browser google chrome as the default web browser google chrome as the default web browser example ubuntu probably if not the most example ubuntu probably if not the most example ubuntu probably if not the most popular linux distribution uh isn't popular linux distribution uh isn't popular linux distribution uh isn't endorsed for a number of reasons it endorsed for a number of reasons it endorsed for a number of reasons it could either be the amazon links they could either be the amazon links they could either be the amazon links they used to push on the actual desktop the used to push on the actual desktop the used to push on the actual desktop the proprietary snap store that they've been proprietary snap store that they've been proprietary snap store that they've been pushing as of recently but even with pushing as of recently but even with pushing as of recently but even with that the main reasons that they do not that the main reasons that they do not that the main reasons that they do not endorse ubuntu is because of its endorse ubuntu is because of its endorse ubuntu is because of its software patents and just confusing software patents and just confusing software patents and just confusing language within its software licensing language within its software licensing language within its software licensing any distro that has any non-free apps any distro that has any non-free apps any distro that has any non-free apps even in the main repository is not going even in the main repository is not going even in the main repository is not going to be endorsed so that takes away linux to be endorsed so that takes away linux to be endorsed so that takes away linux mint and even arch linux for example so mint and even arch linux for example so mint and even arch linux for example so what about a distro that has a main what about a distro that has a main what about a distro that has a main repository with only free software but repository with only free software but repository with only free software but an additional repository that has an additional repository that has an additional repository that has non-free software nope so that crosses non-free software nope so that crosses non-free software nope so that crosses out both debian and open souza from the out both debian and open souza from the out both debian and open souza from the list even fedora isn't going to be list even fedora isn't going to be list even fedora isn't going to be endorsed despite having unrelated endorsed despite having unrelated endorsed despite having unrelated separate community repositories for separate community repositories for separate community repositories for non-free software because its repos non-free software because its repos non-free software because its repos allows non-free hardware firmware which allows non-free hardware firmware which allows non-free hardware firmware which is a a red line supposedly how about is a a red line supposedly how about is a a red line supposedly how about just any distro that's using the stock just any distro that's using the stock just any distro that's using the stock linux kernel again nope that's not linux kernel again nope that's not linux kernel again nope that's not allowed because it contains non-free allowed because it contains non-free allowed because it contains non-free firmware blobs so that even takes out firmware blobs so that even takes out firmware blobs so that even takes out something like tails the point is the something like tails the point is the something like tails the point is the free software foundation is very strict free software foundation is very strict free software foundation is very strict with what they recommend so it is with what they recommend so it is with what they recommend so it is interesting to see what they actually interesting to see what they actually interesting to see what they actually give the green light to 2b free software give the green light to 2b free software give the green light to 2b free software foundation endorsed the distribution has

foundation endorsed the distribution has foundation endorsed the distribution has to be the complete package unless it's to be the complete package unless it's to be the complete package unless it's an embedded system it must be entirely an embedded system it must be entirely an embedded system it must be entirely free software down to the kernel and free software down to the kernel and free software down to the kernel and firmware levels and you can't steer firmware levels and you can't steer firmware levels and you can't steer users to installing non-free software users to installing non-free software users to installing non-free software additionally you must commit to fixing additionally you must commit to fixing additionally you must commit to fixing any issues i have no name confusions any issues i have no name confusions any issues i have no name confusions don't use any confusing terms and more don't use any confusing terms and more don't use any confusing terms and more these are very strict so let's go these are very strict so let's go these are very strict so let's go through a quick overview of the distros through a quick overview of the distros through a quick overview of the distros that did make the cut so first we're that did make the cut so first we're that did make the cut so first we're going to be starting off with dragora oh going to be starting off with dragora oh going to be starting off with dragora oh i'm sorry dry dragora gnu slash linux i'm sorry dry dragora gnu slash linux i'm sorry dry dragora gnu slash linux dash libre this is quote a complete and dash libre this is quote a complete and dash libre this is quote a complete and reliable distribution that is made reliable distribution that is made reliable distribution that is made entirely of free software founded on the entirely of free software founded on the entirely of free software founded on the concepts of simplicity and elegance and concepts of simplicity and elegance and concepts of simplicity and elegance and usable for almost any purpose well in my usable for almost any purpose well in my usable for almost any purpose well in my experience it's not no matter what i did experience it's not no matter what i did experience it's not no matter what i did to try to get to run it wouldn't and to try to get to run it wouldn't and to try to get to run it wouldn't and firing it up in something like a virtual firing it up in something like a virtual firing it up in something like a virtual box and even gnome boxes just did not box and even gnome boxes just did not box and even gnome boxes just did not work work work with that it does use run it as a in its with that it does use run it as a in its with that it does use run it as a in its system and qi as its package manager system and qi as its package manager system and qi as its package manager which is actually custom for that which is actually custom for that which is actually custom for that distribution and that no surprise it distribution and that no surprise it distribution and that no surprise it uses the linux libre kernel for me i'm uses the linux libre kernel for me i'm uses the linux libre kernel for me i'm gonna have to pass on this one next up gonna have to pass on this one next up gonna have to pass on this one next up is dynabolic this distribution is is dynabolic this distribution is is dynabolic this distribution is designed specifically for audio and designed specifically for audio and designed specifically for audio and video production and it's made to be run video production and it's made to be run video production and it's made to be run off of a live cd and just not to update off of a live cd and just not to update off of a live cd and just not to update and because of this the free software and because of this the free software and because of this the free software foundation recommends you not connecting foundation recommends you not connecting foundation recommends you not connecting to the internet while using this linux

to the internet while using this linux to the internet while using this linux distribution the latest release is from distribution the latest release is from distribution the latest release is from 2011 so the website actually hosting the 2011 so the website actually hosting the 2011 so the website actually hosting the iso image for the little upload date iso image for the little upload date iso image for the little upload date says about a decade ago it's 32-bit only says about a decade ago it's 32-bit only says about a decade ago it's 32-bit only and booting into it is a blast from the and booting into it is a blast from the and booting into it is a blast from the past it's based off of ubuntu 9.10 which past it's based off of ubuntu 9.10 which past it's based off of ubuntu 9.10 which means that it has an ancient ubuntu means that it has an ancient ubuntu means that it has an ancient ubuntu theme built on top of gnome 2. and i've theme built on top of gnome 2. and i've theme built on top of gnome 2. and i've never seen so many pre-installed never seen so many pre-installed never seen so many pre-installed applications on a linux distribution applications on a linux distribution applications on a linux distribution which really might be a good thing which really might be a good thing which really might be a good thing considering you're recommended not to considering you're recommended not to considering you're recommended not to download stuff and this is so old it's download stuff and this is so old it's download stuff and this is so old it's hard to recommend i mean last time this hard to recommend i mean last time this hard to recommend i mean last time this was updated i was uploading minecraft was updated i was uploading minecraft was updated i was uploading minecraft server videos to this channel so if you server videos to this channel so if you server videos to this channel so if you don't care about some proprietary don't care about some proprietary don't care about some proprietary firmware blobs you should probably use firmware blobs you should probably use firmware blobs you should probably use something like a ubuntu studio or something like a ubuntu studio or something like a ubuntu studio or another production geared distro that another production geared distro that another production geared distro that has everything you need if that's even has everything you need if that's even has everything you need if that's even something you're looking for now for the something you're looking for now for the something you're looking for now for the first distribution that i actually might first distribution that i actually might first distribution that i actually might recommend you go ahead and check out recommend you go ahead and check out recommend you go ahead and check out that is going to be geeks this is a that is going to be geeks this is a that is going to be geeks this is a linux distribution actually developed by linux distribution actually developed by linux distribution actually developed by the new project with its very own init the new project with its very own init the new project with its very own init system and package manager this distro system and package manager this distro system and package manager this distro has a declarative operating system has a declarative operating system has a declarative operating system configuration which makes it very configuration which makes it very configuration which makes it very similar to distributions like fedora similar to distributions like fedora similar to distributions like fedora silver blue or even nyx os this makes it silver blue or even nyx os this makes it silver blue or even nyx os this makes it so you can build the entire system from so you can build the entire system from so you can build the entire system from a configuration file this also comes a configuration file this also comes a configuration file this also comes with a tui installer similar to a lot of with a tui installer similar to a lot of with a tui installer similar to a lot of those arch installation scripts and those arch installation scripts and those arch installation scripts and going through the installer you can going through the installer you can going through the installer you can actually pick what desktop environment actually pick what desktop environment actually pick what desktop environment you want to install except for plasma you want to install except for plasma you want to install except for plasma for some reason and this does have two for some reason and this does have two for some reason and this does have two different versions a stable version and

different versions a stable version and different versions a stable version and a latest version and the stable version a latest version and the stable version a latest version and the stable version has some pretty old packages i'm not has some pretty old packages i'm not has some pretty old packages i'm not talking like older than debian packages talking like older than debian packages talking like older than debian packages it ships with gnome 3.34 and the latest it ships with gnome 3.34 and the latest it ships with gnome 3.34 and the latest version which is newer but still not version which is newer but still not version which is newer but still not like bleeding edge ships with gnome 40 like bleeding edge ships with gnome 40 like bleeding edge ships with gnome 40 so at least that's better than so at least that's better than so at least that's better than 3.34 3.34 3.34 it's mainly known for its package it's mainly known for its package it's mainly known for its package manager which allows you to do things manager which allows you to do things manager which allows you to do things like rollbacks installing applications like rollbacks installing applications like rollbacks installing applications without being root and many more without being root and many more without being root and many more features this is a very unique features this is a very unique features this is a very unique distribution even the short overview distribution even the short overview distribution even the short overview doesn't do it full service so if you're doesn't do it full service so if you're doesn't do it full service so if you're even remotely interested in checking it even remotely interested in checking it even remotely interested in checking it out i i would recommend you do so now out i i would recommend you do so now out i i would recommend you do so now the next two distributions are very the next two distributions are very the next two distributions are very similar so i'm going to go ahead and similar so i'm going to go ahead and similar so i'm going to go ahead and group them into one we have hyper bola group them into one we have hyper bola group them into one we have hyper bola and parabola sounds like i'm going to and parabola sounds like i'm going to and parabola sounds like i'm going to catch something just reading this catch something just reading this catch something just reading this parabola is basically arch without any parabola is basically arch without any parabola is basically arch without any of the non-free software as it also uses of the non-free software as it also uses of the non-free software as it also uses the linux libre kernel instead of the the linux libre kernel instead of the the linux libre kernel instead of the stock kernel and the overall stock kernel and the overall stock kernel and the overall installation process is very similar to installation process is very similar to installation process is very similar to arch linux it supports open rc alongside arch linux it supports open rc alongside arch linux it supports open rc alongside systemd and it still has 32-bit support systemd and it still has 32-bit support systemd and it still has 32-bit support which arch actually officially dropped which arch actually officially dropped which arch actually officially dropped and and and that's basically it that's basically it that's basically it hyperbola is another arch-based system hyperbola is another arch-based system hyperbola is another arch-based system that holds back packages for the that holds back packages for the that holds back packages for the purposes of stability this makes purposes of stability this makes purposes of stability this makes hyperbola basically an lts version of hyperbola basically an lts version of hyperbola basically an lts version of parabola for example if we go to the parabola for example if we go to the parabola for example if we go to the packages page on the hyperbola website packages page on the hyperbola website packages page on the hyperbola website we can see it uses the lts version of we can see it uses the lts version of we can see it uses the lts version of the linux library kernel and it still the linux library kernel and it still the linux library kernel and it still has gnome 3.38 based gnome applications

has gnome 3.38 based gnome applications has gnome 3.38 based gnome applications it also doesn't support systemd at all it also doesn't support systemd at all it also doesn't support systemd at all because it's not following their uh because it's not following their uh because it's not following their uh social contract and it also removed java social contract and it also removed java social contract and it also removed java and and and dbus support for some reason overall you dbus support for some reason overall you dbus support for some reason overall you should probably just use arch over should probably just use arch over should probably just use arch over parabola or just because more community parabola or just because more community parabola or just because more community support and much more packages available support and much more packages available support and much more packages available and hyperbola really just takes it too and hyperbola really just takes it too and hyperbola really just takes it too far putting their philosophy over far putting their philosophy over far putting their philosophy over functionality next up we have pure os functionality next up we have pure os functionality next up we have pure os and this might be the very first and this might be the very first and this might be the very first distribution on this list that actually distribution on this list that actually distribution on this list that actually feels fully complete it's based on feels fully complete it's based on feels fully complete it's based on debian testing and gives us a very debian testing and gives us a very debian testing and gives us a very vanilla gnome experience even though it vanilla gnome experience even though it vanilla gnome experience even though it is a little outdated because it's using is a little outdated because it's using is a little outdated because it's using a gnome 3.38 notably this distro is a gnome 3.38 notably this distro is a gnome 3.38 notably this distro is funded by purism and supports the funded by purism and supports the funded by purism and supports the librium 5 linux smartphone so there's librium 5 linux smartphone so there's librium 5 linux smartphone so there's going to be a few uh mobile specific going to be a few uh mobile specific going to be a few uh mobile specific features here pure os doesn't use the features here pure os doesn't use the features here pure os doesn't use the linux library kernel it actually uses linux library kernel it actually uses linux library kernel it actually uses the stock kernel but they go through and the stock kernel but they go through and the stock kernel but they go through and remove the proprietary blobs that can be remove the proprietary blobs that can be remove the proprietary blobs that can be found there and it does also have some found there and it does also have some found there and it does also have some kind of weird defaults such as the gnome kind of weird defaults such as the gnome kind of weird defaults such as the gnome web being the default web browser but web being the default web browser but web being the default web browser but overall it is a really polished linux overall it is a really polished linux overall it is a really polished linux distribution and doesn't feel like some distribution and doesn't feel like some distribution and doesn't feel like some hacky debian spin pure os is probably hacky debian spin pure os is probably hacky debian spin pure os is probably the first distro on this list that's the first distro on this list that's the first distro on this list that's actually uh recommendable for actually uh recommendable for actually uh recommendable for day-to-day usage now while we're talking day-to-day usage now while we're talking day-to-day usage now while we're talking about pure os the welcome screen that about pure os the welcome screen that about pure os the welcome screen that actually allows you to add next cloud actually allows you to add next cloud actually allows you to add next cloud for easy account and open source cloud for easy account and open source cloud for easy account and open source cloud syncing and if you're interested in syncing and if you're interested in syncing and if you're interested in starting your very own next cloud starting your very own next cloud starting your very own next cloud instance you can actually use the instance you can actually use the instance you can actually use the sponsor of today's video lenode node is

sponsor of today's video lenode node is sponsor of today's video lenode node is a fantastic cloud computing provider uh a fantastic cloud computing provider uh a fantastic cloud computing provider uh granted they are going to have a list of granted they are going to have a list of granted they are going to have a list of distributions you probably actually want distributions you probably actually want distributions you probably actually want to uh use as a linux server you have a to uh use as a linux server you have a to uh use as a linux server you have a bunch of selects from a bunch of bunch of selects from a bunch of bunch of selects from a bunch of different regions to pick a server different regions to pick a server different regions to pick a server that's closest to you and a whole load that's closest to you and a whole load that's closest to you and a whole load of one-click installers to easily get of one-click installers to easily get of one-click installers to easily get websites game servers or next cloud websites game servers or next cloud websites game servers or next cloud instances spun up with ease and actually instances spun up with ease and actually instances spun up with ease and actually i'd almost recommend using the docker i'd almost recommend using the docker i'd almost recommend using the docker image of nexcloud it's newer and it image of nexcloud it's newer and it image of nexcloud it's newer and it works very well i did a whole separate works very well i did a whole separate works very well i did a whole separate dedicated video on that going over how dedicated video on that going over how dedicated video on that going over how to get it set up on the node so i will to get it set up on the node so i will to get it set up on the node so i will be linking down below to that video as be linking down below to that video as be linking down below to that video as well as a link to get a 100 60 day well as a link to get a 100 60 day well as a link to get a 100 60 day credit to go ahead and try out lenode credit to go ahead and try out lenode credit to go ahead and try out lenode today so with that next up is triskel today so with that next up is triskel today so with that next up is triskel this is an ubuntu based distribution if this is an ubuntu based distribution if this is an ubuntu based distribution if you're running ubuntu you're going to be you're running ubuntu you're going to be you're running ubuntu you're going to be very familiar here the latest 10.0 very familiar here the latest 10.0 very familiar here the latest 10.0 release is actually based on ubuntu release is actually based on ubuntu release is actually based on ubuntu 20.04 so it's going to be about two 20.04 so it's going to be about two 20.04 so it's going to be about two years behind but that little flaw aside years behind but that little flaw aside years behind but that little flaw aside it's it's a pretty solid distribution by it's it's a pretty solid distribution by it's it's a pretty solid distribution by default it uses a mate giving us a very default it uses a mate giving us a very default it uses a mate giving us a very impressive 750 megabytes of resource impressive 750 megabytes of resource impressive 750 megabytes of resource consumption on boot and this distro has consumption on boot and this distro has consumption on boot and this distro has editions running plasma lxde and sugar editions running plasma lxde and sugar editions running plasma lxde and sugar it does have a modified version of it does have a modified version of it does have a modified version of firefox called a browser which has an firefox called a browser which has an firefox called a browser which has an add-on store that only uses free add-on store that only uses free add-on store that only uses free software adds fingerprint resistance and software adds fingerprint resistance and software adds fingerprint resistance and disables location sharing and does disables location sharing and does disables location sharing and does things we all want to do such as things we all want to do such as things we all want to do such as removing pocket overall this is cool but removing pocket overall this is cool but removing pocket overall this is cool but again not really unique enough if you

again not really unique enough if you again not really unique enough if you don't really care about non-free don't really care about non-free don't really care about non-free software basically to use any of the software basically to use any of the software basically to use any of the distributions on this list you really distributions on this list you really distributions on this list you really have to care about the principles of have to care about the principles of have to care about the principles of foss now for the last desktop foss now for the last desktop foss now for the last desktop distribution that we're going to be distribution that we're going to be distribution that we're going to be covering is uttoto i think this is the covering is uttoto i think this is the covering is uttoto i think this is the very first linux distribution of the very first linux distribution of the very first linux distribution of the free software foundation certified and free software foundation certified and free software foundation certified and it was based on gen 2 until 2017 when it was based on gen 2 until 2017 when it was based on gen 2 until 2017 when they went ahead and switched to a ubuntu they went ahead and switched to a ubuntu they went ahead and switched to a ubuntu base now the sistro was harder to unpack base now the sistro was harder to unpack base now the sistro was harder to unpack and learn about the entire website is in and learn about the entire website is in and learn about the entire website is in spanish and the translated versions have spanish and the translated versions have spanish and the translated versions have a whole bunch of dead links and what i a whole bunch of dead links and what i a whole bunch of dead links and what i can tell you for sure is like some of can tell you for sure is like some of can tell you for sure is like some of the other stuff on this list i was not the other stuff on this list i was not the other stuff on this list i was not able to get this up and running either able to get this up and running either able to get this up and running either on virtualbox gnome boxes or even actual on virtualbox gnome boxes or even actual on virtualbox gnome boxes or even actual hardware and i mean the latest video hardware and i mean the latest video hardware and i mean the latest video that i can find on this system on that i can find on this system on that i can find on this system on youtube is from 2013 youtube is from 2013 youtube is from 2013 and i mean if you're interested in and i mean if you're interested in and i mean if you're interested in checking it out it is a pretty good checking it out it is a pretty good checking it out it is a pretty good video it's this whole system at least video it's this whole system at least video it's this whole system at least then was basically a mac os kind of then was basically a mac os kind of then was basically a mac os kind of clone built on free software a very old clone built on free software a very old clone built on free software a very old looking mac os to say the least and looking mac os to say the least and looking mac os to say the least and digging around this website it seemed digging around this website it seemed digging around this website it seemed like the primary purpose for developing like the primary purpose for developing like the primary purpose for developing this was to be one of the first endorsed this was to be one of the first endorsed this was to be one of the first endorsed free distributions and it does seem to free distributions and it does seem to free distributions and it does seem to kind of tie closely to other projects kind of tie closely to other projects kind of tie closely to other projects from the same people that have to do from the same people that have to do from the same people that have to do with like the argentine and voting with like the argentine and voting with like the argentine and voting system so that's just gonna have to be a system so that's just gonna have to be a system so that's just gonna have to be a rabbit hole that i don't dive into for rabbit hole that i don't dive into for rabbit hole that i don't dive into for now so finally let's go ahead and now so finally let's go ahead and now so finally let's go ahead and quickly cover some embedded systems quickly cover some embedded systems quickly cover some embedded systems libre cmc is a fully free and embedded libre cmc is a fully free and embedded libre cmc is a fully free and embedded operating system designed for routers

operating system designed for routers operating system designed for routers and single board computers this one uses and single board computers this one uses and single board computers this one uses the linux slabery kernel and the the linux slabery kernel and the the linux slabery kernel and the opkg package manager protein os is opkg package manager protein os is opkg package manager protein os is another embedded distribution which uses another embedded distribution which uses another embedded distribution which uses the pro kit package manager and it the pro kit package manager and it the pro kit package manager and it allows packages to be built at runtime allows packages to be built at runtime allows packages to be built at runtime for different hardware use cases and for different hardware use cases and for different hardware use cases and finally the very last operating system finally the very last operating system finally the very last operating system i'm going to be talking about in this i'm going to be talking about in this i'm going to be talking about in this video is a actually a non-gnu linux video is a actually a non-gnu linux video is a actually a non-gnu linux distribution and this is replicant this distribution and this is replicant this distribution and this is replicant this is a fully free version of android that is a fully free version of android that is a fully free version of android that replaces all the non-free libraries and replaces all the non-free libraries and replaces all the non-free libraries and applications with free software this is applications with free software this is applications with free software this is only fully maintained and supported with only fully maintained and supported with only fully maintained and supported with ancient phones such as the samsung ancient phones such as the samsung ancient phones such as the samsung galaxy s2 or s3 and the galaxy nexus so galaxy s2 or s3 and the galaxy nexus so galaxy s2 or s3 and the galaxy nexus so if you have a modern hardware and you if you have a modern hardware and you if you have a modern hardware and you want something that's fully de-googled want something that's fully de-googled want something that's fully de-googled i'd recommend something like a lineage i'd recommend something like a lineage i'd recommend something like a lineage os or even something like iot os or ford os or even something like iot os or ford os or even something like iot os or ford slash e forward slash os overall free slash e forward slash os overall free slash e forward slash os overall free software foundation distribution software foundation distribution software foundation distribution recommendations that vary wildly in the recommendations that vary wildly in the recommendations that vary wildly in the overall quality as several of them are overall quality as several of them are overall quality as several of them are unmaintained a couple of them won't even unmaintained a couple of them won't even unmaintained a couple of them won't even boot and many of them are just base boot and many of them are just base boot and many of them are just base operating systems with the non-free operating systems with the non-free operating systems with the non-free components completely removed which this components completely removed which this components completely removed which this makes it kind of difficult to use any of makes it kind of difficult to use any of makes it kind of difficult to use any of these distributions on most hardware these distributions on most hardware these distributions on most hardware unless if you want to do a lot of work unless if you want to do a lot of work unless if you want to do a lot of work and a lot of tinkering to get some of and a lot of tinkering to get some of and a lot of tinkering to get some of your components particularly wi-fi or your components particularly wi-fi or your components particularly wi-fi or printers to work the only two printers to work the only two printers to work the only two distributions here that i would distributions here that i would distributions here that i would personally recommend or even be worth personally recommend or even be worth personally recommend or even be worth checking out is going to be pure os or checking out is going to be pure os or checking out is going to be pure os or good news geeks anything else on this good news geeks anything else on this good news geeks anything else on this list at that point is basically just to

list at that point is basically just to list at that point is basically just to flex on people who are running flex on people who are running flex on people who are running proprietary software uh with all that i proprietary software uh with all that i proprietary software uh with all that i do hope you have an absolutely beautiful do hope you have an absolutely beautiful do hope you have an absolutely beautiful day day day and good bye
