I have all the blobs, I like my hardware to work

Ages ago someone wrote a bash script that would calculate your "stallman score", essentially checking the license of every package in your system.

Id say around 80% since I use a lot of foss programs and only use linux/android/openwrt/brother printers. The other 20% is random proprietary stuff like steam I guess to be generous.

As much as I can get it, and more every year.

All my computers run Linux exclusively. Gaming desktop, personal laptop, Steam Deck, work laptop, and all my servers in my home lab.

Hypervisor is XCP-ng, VMs are a mix of Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, and some random other Linux distros for testing and experimenting.

My NAS is a TrueNAS Core box.

I'm in the process of switching my router to PFSense.

Phone is a Pixel 6a with GrapheneOS.

Email, VPN, and cloud storage is Proton.

Password manager is Bit Warden.

Office docs are all Libre Office & Only Office.

The only non-FOSS software I use constantly is Discord and Steam, and of course, most of the games I play. On my phone I have majority FOSS apps for everyday stuff, but some things are still proprietary.

Libreboot + GNU/Linux-Libre Guix System

100% except the damn firmware and things I can't change

I don't run Linux anymore, though this should change sometime next year. I use Blender and Krita for work, QOwnNotes for note-taking, Firefox for the web, QBittorrent for sharing holiday films, etc. For image editing I use Affinity, probably the only notable proprietary program on my system apart from Windows.

Mostly

I still have Intel WiFi and a phone which requires firmware to work correctly.

I also recently installed Lego star wars in Bottles for fun. I also use the web a lot which uses non free JavaScript.

A good 90% I'd say. All my devices run Linux (NixOS laptop, Ubuntu server, LineageOS phone).

Non-FOSS stuff:

• AMD GPU in my Framework 16 laptop means the only unfree package on my laptop is Steam.
• The proprietary apps I do run on my phone are TooGoodToGo and my bank as I'm not aware of alternatives.
• I wear a Pebble Time Steel smartwatch, also not aware of any alternatives.
• PS5 controller firmware has no replacement.

I don't browse the surface web a lot and when I do I tend to disable JS, so I avoid most of the nonfree JS. I have no social media accounts besides Mastodon, Matrix, and Lemmy, which are all free :)

As an extension, all my close family runs Linux on their computers, as it ended up being lower maintenance than setting them up with Windows when time came to upgrade.

Currently running majority FLOSS, and glad for the excellent options that these very capable people have released.

Desktops, laptops, HTPC:

Trisquel GNU/Linux on Libreboot BIOS hardware

--//--

Phones and tablets are:

GrapheneOS + Fdroid only apps

--//--

Rockbox audio players

(+ Open Tunes from FMA, Argofox, CC netlabels, jamendo, bandcamp etc)

--//--

Gadgetbridge + Amazfit Bip (watch)

[Looking to switch out this watch for a FLOSS smartwatch like: pinetime or bangle.js]

and dd-wrt on the router

Got multiple machines, but I think my most FOSS setup is a corebooted Thinkpad X230. The ME firmware was stripped, leaving it non-functional after the initialization. I replaced the WiFi card with an Atheros one that doesn't require non-free firmware. The GPU is by Intel Ivy Bridge, so no need for proprietary driver. Currently running Debian on it.

With that said, there are some components I couldn't get by:

• the EC firmware is pretty much a blackbox, even though I was able to unlock some part to make it work with aftermarket batteries
• the graphic ROM may still be proprietary (gonna have to recheck what my machine got currently) -- FOSS is an option as well but with less support
• even though non-functional, the ME is still on -- god knows what this thing does exactly
• CPU microcode

The rest of the components are pretty well-documented by the community if not by the OEMs themselves.

I would put 95% for this specific setup. However, if counting everything I got, not even close, as I need some proprietary components for living.

For example, my company gave me a newer Thinkpad to do work, which thankfully I got to install Linux on. I still have to run enterprise stuff from time to time, most of which are far from FOSS.

And don't get me started on tax form submission.

My PC is mostly foss, the exceptions being that I use YouTube and discord. still working on my phone though.

1 FreeBSD server with zfs mirror for storage and various server software

1 FreeBSD laptop for development

1 Linux laptop for software that doesn't support FreeBSD

1 Linux desktop for work.

The rest of the family is 100% windows though :/

Nearly 100%. All Linux and AMD. The biggest part that isn't is BIOS. As far as programs go I can think of almost nothing I use that isn't FOSS. I guess Discord.

It's just the firmware, my work-necessary programs, and steam.

I love arch, but i'm planning on moving to atomic fedora eventually, but I use a bunch of niche things because i'm an early adopter

i'll switch to fedora atomic when pwvucontrol, tofi, hyprland, hyprland-autoname-workspaces, citrix workspace (work necessary), notiflut-land, bato, wljoywake, wayland-pipewire-idle-inhibit, ananicy-cpp, easyeffects, wl-mirror, gtk3-classic, keyd, iwgtk, qtalarm, kvantum and subliminal are all available, haven't checked which are yet

couple of those (pwvucontrol and notiflut-land) aren't even in the AUR yet so it'll be a while.

Excluding hardware (microcode, UEFI, etc); within my Linux system, the only proprietary software I have installed are Nvidia drivers and Steam (installed via flatpak). When I first made the switch to Linux, I was actually shocked at the minimal amount of proprietary software I actually used/needed.

Edit: I didn't see the community, sorry, feel free to disregard this comment lol

I still use services like Spotify, FB Messenger, and Play services for some of my banking apps. I'm a bit new to this whole privacy thing and custom ROMs, but so far it feels good. When I buy a computer I'll install Linux on it.

Pretty FOSS?

PC - Thinkpad T14s Gen 4: EndeavourOS, Firefox and Thunderbird with the Proton suite of things such as Mail, Pass and VPN - I do pay for them but I think it's worth it.

Phone - Pixel 8 with GrapheneOS and as many F-Droid apps as possible. Proton apps for Mail, Pass, Drive, VPN. Cromite browser. The only that aren't are probably my banking apps, but I could always switch to web I guess.

I think my biggest hurdle is a Map app that has traffic data that isn't Google maps.

It's hella foss!

Almost everything. All Linux machines, SO included. Self-hosted most everything for a loooooong time, but with Obtainium now I'm really close to ditching the Play Store, too.

I run bone stock default Fedora.

On my main profile on GrapheneOS there are 7 closed source apps and 1 self build technically closed source (for now) all out of total 71 apps.

OS

• Linux on my laptop, had hackintoshed a 2015 MacBook Pro before to run macOS Sonoma, and that ran on this device before
• Windows on my desktop to play games from studios that are owned by a certain Chinese investment company starting on T.
• stock Android on my SM-A536B since LineageOS isn't ported (yet) to this device.

(Semi)Libre Software

• Zed
• Eternity for Lemmy
• Tubular (NewPipe + Sponsorblock and ReturnYTDislike)
• Tusky for Mastodon
• Rust (the language)

Proprietary software

• GSuite (for collaboration)
• Games and game launchers (namely Steam on PC and on laptop and Epic ~~shitty~~ games launcher on PC)

I'd consider my setup 8/10 FOSS.

On my home PC everything is FOSS. I'm a serious hobby user of Inkscape and GIMP. No advantage to using commercial alternatives.

Work PC is all commercial software. For me FOSS CAD doesn't come close.

Libre hardware:

• Turris Omnia router with their OpenWrt-based distro. Bought in 2017, upgraded to Wifi-6 in 2022. Great product.
• 3x system76 laptops with Coreboot and Debían
• The desktop is a system76 darter pro with a broken hinge, so it's connected to a widescreen monitor and external mouse, keyboard. Also Debían.

The non FOSS systems are:

• HP Dev One running proprietary UEFI, and Pop!_OS
• a couple of Pixel phones running stock OS
• an iPad Pro with keyboard from 2018
• X201 Thinkpad with AFFS upgrade running Debían. Connected to some AudioEngine speakers and Spotify, this is our media player.
• a Thinkpad T43p with XP for Age of Empires and Freecell
• an Apple TV.

Laptop is foss except bios. Desktop has apu and wifi firmware.

Like sub 10% maybe.

Phone 1: iPhone

Phone 2: Android (pixel 4, stock rom)

Desktop 1: Windows

Desktop 2: Mac OS

Laptop 1: Windows

Laptop 2: Mac OS.

Laptop 3: Windows/KDE Neon, no attention paid to whether or not the drivers are foss.

Server: Proxmox with Debian and Truenas VMs.

Router: pfSense.

I just use what works for me, and what license the software uses is not at all a factor in that choice.

All FOSS except Nvidia drivers and processor microcode!

next graphics card will definitely be an AMD

Linux desktop with an Nvidia GPU, two Linux laptops, android phone. I'm struggling to think of any closed source productivity apps I still use, and I play games from Steam. NAS is running whatever Synology crap it came with, I haven't tried fucking with the firmware on my Epson, my 3D printer runs Marlin and my laser engraver runs GRBL.

95% paypal, linguee and banking apps
