A Fedora COSMIC Desktop variant? Sounds so cool!

There already is an experimental image based on Silverblue with the alpha stage Cosmic Epoch Desktop.

Mainly finetuning and SELinux profiles are needed!

      I know that it’s a joke, but find me a distro that doesn’t include any proprietary blobs.

        @Dehydrated this is my pet peeve everytime i try to discuss anything about linux someone interrupts me about how SOME COMPONENT is proprietary
        like yeah, the keyboard on the laptop is proprietary, so are all the ICs, come on…

          All the hardware is proprietary. The CPU, the ME in the CPU, the chipset on the mainboard, the BIOS, the RAM and SSD controllers, the TPM and everything else. Even the damn battery controller hardware and software are proprietary. It really doesn’t matter though.

            @Dehydrated the car i drive to work is entirely proprietary!
            but yeah, open source is awesome but not using something useful/good because of its license is just kinda shooting yourself in the foot IMO

          No, because Fedora DOES include proprietary blobs (for a good reason)

                Wait, you object to their feely-distributable firmware updates? Seriously? Without those, your CPU is vulnerable to exploits and known hacks.

            I mean we have a monolithic kernel, with every single line of code running as root, that contains proprietary garbage. Thats even worse than Windows if you ask me, where you can see the drivers processes, which means they are seperate processes.

            I will soon compile my own kernel, because I dont really feel good with running such a bloated piece of bad code on my standard intel laptop.

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.
