Oh, I didn't realize there is a FSF free software directory. Thanks for the (re?)discovery. > They are, but it's by design I don't think anybody actually wants free software without any compromise to be impractical, so no, I would not say by design, it's just a sad reality. My stronger concern is that it's likely impractical for free software advocacy.

> I don't think anybody actually wants free software without any compromise to be impractical This is not what I meant when I said "by design". I meant that in today's world, striving for the true, pure freedom is very much expected to be impractical, so do not be surprised that the FSF-endorsed distros are unusable. Nobody wants that but it's expected. This however serves as a goal, so not completely useless. I guess we agree.
