> closed source blobs creeping into the ecosystem and so forth Modern Linux is heavily reliant on closed source firmware blobs already.

  Only if you have chosen the wrong hardware. See Purism.

    That's only partially true though - for example, I don't believe there are any 802.11ac (or ax) WiFi adapters that don't require binary blobs. Purism punts on that, and just ships an old 802.11n adapter.

      You are right. But the original claim was "heavily reliant on closed source firmware blobs", which is not really true.
