the only problem you'll might have is wifi but you would just need to replace your wifi card with a ath9k one.

no, thanks. Windows just werks.

Just use arch then. Distros of distros are dumb on a fundamental level
>>
>>107577789
If you dont have any other options to workaround nonfree hardware, then making the deal with the devil on a free distro is better than using Windows or a nonfree distro.

He conveniently didn't mention that all modern GPUs require proprietary firmware to function
>>
>>107577927
arch does not respect your freedom. Arch uses the the non libre kernel which ships proprietary blobs and has non free software (malware) in it's repos by default.
>>
>>107577985
Most people will seek ways to use that nonfree hardware
The point is that Parabola an ethical distro that does not distribute nonfree firmware. And if the devil or the user installs nonfree firmware, then Parabola cannot be held responsible for promoting nonfree software

Why would I need to use some no-name arch derivative when I can just use arch Linux then? You do realize that almost every distro could be used as libre distro since no distro has mandatory proprietary parts?
>>

>every distro could be used as libre distro since no distro has mandatory proprietary parts?
except that those distros ship's with proprietary blobs (malware) by default.
>>
>>107578037
What you're suggesting is options to install only free software using the nonfree distros. That doesnt make them free distros, because they still contain nonfree software, but you could still privately recommend them to someone if you know they wont be easily steered towards installing nonfree software.

>>107577481
because i use freebsd

Sorry, I already use NixOS (with fully-blown systemd (based) integration) with allowNonFree = true;

Which has not been updated in 2 years? Hahahaha
>>
>>107577481
other than being libre what features does it have?
