Unfortunately Debian – and i guess the rest of the Linux world as well – users have a pretty hard time finding WIFI and LAN cards but also grafix cards that can run with 100% free software. (FSF! STALLMAN! HELP! […]

i would love iceland or any government come forth on that issue – developing and standardizing free hardware (from phones to laptops to 3d printed houses?) for it’s free citizens – without closed-source-binary-blobs and drivers. https://www.fsf.org/resources/hw http://reprap.org/wiki/RepRap_Machines Further hardware resources: […]

So it seems pretty hard to find a grafix-card that runs on completely open source and not closed-source drivers. we try never the less we try.

the massive challenge for Open (Source/Schematics/Plan/Recipe) Hardware seems the grafik-card… which often runs on closed-source drivers. This is true for the raspberry pi (it even needs binary-closed-source-blob to boot), for the EOMA68 project and the pyra. holy cow this thing […]
It is actually a scandal that the world depends on chips and operating systems – that are designed to do mass-surveillance – it seems – in order to build up a world-wide-dictatorship that no-one can escape… by information and money. […]

absolutely amazing guys! keep up the good work! 🙂 now we need spinach planting drones! 😀
forget about all the chipsets that are not supported by Open Source drivers. What one will want: are chipsets that work out of the box with Debian 10 Open Source Drivers! such as: https://dwaves.de/2019/07/03/trisquel-8-0-test-run-on-lenovo-t440-and-librebooted-lenovo-x60s/ actually have to praise AVM (or […]
Strange enough – there are a lot of CLOSED SOURCE firmware out there – be it realtek or be it intel Wifi-Adapters. Per default Debian will NOT install non-free firmware which is because of privacy reasons. Vendors kind of “not […]
