Wait... why does Linux-libre (and #Freedo) exist?

Is Linux not free software itself? I thought propietary stuff was added downstream.

Am I getting something wrong?

I just want to know what did conky do to get in that list lol

They actually stopped using the linux kernel all together as well.

yeah well thats hyperbola, they are generally known to be extreme to the point of nonsense. If you want a good free-software only distro try guix. They apparently have the third largest software repo in existence. They have an unofficial non-free repo too.

Thanks, I'm actually building the libre kernel when you typed this.
