It’s funny seeing blogs about this because I live with 100% FOSS, minus firmware
On your phone, too? Your router? Modem?
Router yes, actually router is running coreboot and tiano core with OpenWRT. Does still have proprietary microcode though, and WiFi firmware. All my WAPs also run OpenWRT. I don’t have a modem, I have fiber. The ONT is probably running something proprietary but as far as I’m concerned that’s ISP equipment, not mine. Phone…not quite. I tried…it is running an AOSP rom…but going to a full Linux phone never quite worked out. That being said I was originally referring to my laptop and desktop which make use of no proprietary software or drivers. I do go FOSS to the extreme as much as possible. I just haven’t figured out the phone. I did try going f-droid only for a while but it made basic tasks on my phone substantially more difficult.
I would love to hear about the dumb phone setup!
I don’t think open-source modems exist yet.
You’re not really living with as much free software as possible until you’ve installed all of the 103818 packages in debian.
