Debian without contrib / non-free would be RYF-compliant, that's basically the Trisquel distribution. Taking Debian and making it RYF-compliant is not really an achievement. Sure, it's nice, but it doesn't bring much to the ecosystem.
- fsflover 5y agoIt brings the convergence and commercial contributors.
- hiq 5y agoDoes it? Why would they contribute to PureOS instead of Debian for packages that are in both?
- fsflover 5y agoThey upstream everything they can: https://puri.sm/posts/end-of-year-librem-5-update/ https://puri.sm/posts/end-of-year-librem-5-update/. In the long term it decreases the amount of work for the support. AFAIK PureOS is trying to differ as less as possible from Debian and mainline kernel. It needs to differ due to the new hardware and some privacy/freedom-respecting defaults though.
