Fully free distro list
If you know how to source hardware that uses fully-free drivers, they are worth a look.
Guix and Parabola also look interesting.

I remember when Ubuntu was released, and I still have one of the first or second release Ubuntu shipit CDs.
Ubuntu was good at marketing and they were good at making things ‘just work’.
It was often the recommended choice of starter-distro due to hardware compatibility.
I’ve installed and admin’ed Ubuntu on 20 PCs in a small office setting, and it provides a decent user experience.
I would not personally use Ubuntu.
My daily driver now is Trisquel GNU/Linux, which is Ubuntu with all non-free packages(and binary blobs) removed.
If you are at the stage where you know how to source hardware that works with FLOSS-drivers, try out a fully-free FSF approved distro.

Revolution OS(2001) was maybe the earliest documentary about Free Software.
This was great to view at LinuxConf2001, seeing many of the names you’d only read about previously.
Warning: It interviews various people discussed in this thread, but also contains plenty of Stallman being right.
One of the best quotes about Free Software, was how it is essentially using the same principles as Judo, use the opponents momentum against them.
The way Free Software uses full, restrictive copyright to create a permissive, free sharing-based copyright is an excellent example of the technique within many Judo throws.
I can’t remember where this quote was from, and a quick search found nothing. Maybe someone else can pinpoint it.

…the paint is six times thicker than the usual coating on the car body surface… looking to commercialize the paint on ambulances and other specialized vehicles as the first step.
This is the best part of the article.
After driving ambulance during Australian summers, in the Great Victorian Desert, this would assist so much with operating temperatures. A literal life-saver, if the AC ever broke, also.
That paint’s name…?
A mirror, the car is now mirrorball.

Thanks for sharing this moment about the Q&A.
The lack of self-awareness about how ghoulish, and close to grave robbing these ‘reanimations’ are is concerning. Glad to hear that museum professionals are not entertaining it for a moment.
