Debian, Fedora and Parabola are, to be quite honest, very ethically made distributions. Sure Fedo has *cough*kernelblobs*cough* but that can be fixed very easy by swapping the standard kernel with linux-libre (You should totally do this btw) This is a change I would totally back.<br>
Systemd, cancer as it may be developed, is still free software. So as long as I have the freedom to get rid of it, change it, or even keep it, then it isn't worth purging. But please Luke, don't decide for me, I got enough of that from Microsoft with Winblows 8. (You need some tiles in your life son!) <br>
One of the absolute biggest appeals of your cards is that they actually can run mainline everything. Please recognize this is a huge huge deal especially on a distros like Debian that actually has official ARM builds. Don't mess with it. Stock xfce Debian please. <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On February 11, 2017 11:10:56 PM GMT+03:00, Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton <lkcl@lkcl.net> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
