that sounds hilariously retarded. so when are they going to stop supporting all the software that only works with binary blobs like gpu and wifi drivers?
Linux 5...

Go use Windows if you like bloat so much.

They don't stop it from working. All they do is refuse to work with it. The binary blobs work hard to work for Linux and not the other way around.

The *BSDs sadly aren't much about choice, you get the pre-decided package and that's pretty much it. The Ports system is like gentoo's portage, just a lot more awkward.

A good thing would be a kernel fork that keeps updated with upstream but de-fags it of all the recent poor choices. Wonder how salty they would get. It's all perfectly fine inside their precious license.
Sadly forking the kernel at this point would be a massive undertaking that also would take quite a bit of skill. Probably easier to jump ship.

the only thing that worked on btrfs was btrfs-restore.
will never use again in my life.
even more reasons to start migrating to teo. linus is a cuck.

Take NetBSD and fork it. Now you got all the choices you want. And it's not any more work than fumbling around with LFS. MirBSD actually did this, but forked from OpenBSD. People were (are?) using it, so it must have done what they wanted.
Anyway, pkgsrc is pretty flexible, although I don't know the pros and cons vs. gentoo, but it's probably enough to suit most peoples' customization needs.

And it belongs to Oracle now, which is a company known for it's sue first and talk later scheme.

If Microsoft would re license Windows under a compatible GPL license I would be happy.
Try to work on day in a government administration and you'll see the mass of work that it brings when people with incompatible licensing comes to discuss, it's easier when license are compatible from the start.
It's called not giving away freedom in the sake of compromises.
What is the linux-libre kernel.
linux-libre.fsfla.org
This. Actually we can't stop people from activating back the functions.
I encourage people to use a unblobbed kernel and distribution to see how much non-free/libre software is actually needed nowadays for a computer to work, you'll see the real state of tech with all it's compromises.

holy shit, Linux is owned by jews. I am switching to Windows soon
