FSF Adds PureOS To List of Endorsed GNU/Linux Distributions (fsf.org)

Posted by EditorDavid on from the come-along-and-share-the-OS dept.

Long-time Slashdot reader donaldrobertson writes: The Free Software Foundation on Thursday announced PureOS as an endorsed GNU/Linux distro. PureOS is an operating system focused on privacy, security and ease of use. Endorsement means the system meets the FSF's Free System Distribution Guidelines by providing and promoting only free software, with a dedication to making sure the system always remains free.

    I understand the Free Software Foundation's focus. I understand their principled stand on free software.
    But it's very easy to run a mainstream GNU/Linux distribution with only free software; these endorsements seem to imply that Debian and other normal distros are non-free.
