      Fun fact, system76 labtops ship with a boatload of proprietary software. Buying a Linux native laptop is cool but don’t pretend it protects your freedom

          It comes with non-free firmware for WiFi and modern Intel CPUs won’t boot without a bunch of binaries including ME.

          Maybe its open source but it isn’t free software

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
