<title>Explaining Why We Don't Endorse FSF-endorsed Systems</title>
</head>
<body><div class="section"><p>If you're using libreboot from git, note that only CrOS devices build at the moment. We merged a newly rewritten build system recently, and we've yet to complete re-integration of older boards into Libreboot. Use Libreboot 20160907 for the time being, unless you're involved in libreboot development</p></div>

<h1 id="pagetop">Explaining Why We Don't Endorse FSF-endorsed Systems</h1>
<p>
We are asked why we don't endorse most FSF-endorsed distributions,
usually well-known within the FSF community.
</p>
<p>
To learn more about the GNU+Linux systems that we do endorse,
check out our list of
<a href="../distros/">free GNU+Linux distributions</a>. The <em>only</em>
FSF-endorsed distribution that we endorse there is <em>Parabola</em>.
</p>
<p>
<a href="../">Back to main index</a>
</p>

<div class="section">
<h2>Blag</h2>
<p>
It's a dead project.
</p>
<h2>Dynebolic</h2>
<p>
It's a dead project.
</p>
<h2>gNewSense</h2>
<p>
It's a dead project.
</p>
<h2>GuixSD</h2>
<p>
It's the GNU project's official distribution.
<a href="../../gnu/">Libreboot is opposed to the GNU project</a>.
It's actively developed, but it's not yet ready for use by
most end users.
</p>
<h2>Musix</h2>
<p>
It's a dead project.
</p>
<h2>Trisquel</h2>
<p>
The lead developer (Ruben Rodriguez) of Trisquel is one of the accused FSF employees
in their <a href="../../gnu/">recent discriminatory firing of
a trans person from the FSF</a>, and Trisquel is one of the most
aggressively promoted distributions on the part of the Free Software
Foundation. We are opposed to the FSF, and Trisquel endorses them,
so endorsing Trisquel means endorsing the FSF.
</p>
<p>
The lead developer (Ruben Rodriguez) also works full-time as an FSF
sysadmin, and seems to barely have time to develop Trisquel these days.
As a result, with a lack of leadership (and Ruben presumably still
<em>holding on</em>), the project has stalled and will probably end
up becoming a dead distro. <em>Critical security updates are currently
delayed compared to Ubuntu, their upstream!</em>
</p>
<p>
Several people within the Trisquel project have even left the
project as a result of this. For instance, this post on the Trisquel
forums clearly shows such discontent:
<a href="https://trisquel.info/en/forum/im-leaving-trisquel">https://trisquel.info/en/forum/im-leaving-trisquel</a>
</p>
<p>
We advise all users of Trisquel, whether they use libreboot or not,
to switch to the most similar free distribution, Debian, which is
listed on our <a href="../distros/">official list of GNU+Linux
distributions recommendations</a>.
</p>
<h2>Ututo</h2>
<p>
It's a dead project.
