     @mangeurdenuage @kaia fyi Gentoo is not fsf-approved as it allows the shipment of non-free apps in the repositories

     Letting people install proprietary software on Libre distributions is pretty goated tbh.

     Depends on your view. Trisquel will not stop user from installing proprietary software because that would be a violation of their freedom.
     However it is also immoral to have software to have bits that already have non-free/libre software in them or have a script, a simple method that will automatically download/install proprietary software.
     
     >I want a system to empower me and not give me limitations
     But distributions like trisquel does empower you.
     If people want to install proprietary software they have to do it from their own will and consciousness, unlike today with ubuntu for example where even if you select to not use proprietary bits on installation it does it anyway.
     Empowering in computers doesn't mean to make it easy, it means to understand what you are doing.
     
     But I will admit that we need more pedagogical content, no matter what distribution.
     
     Plus I'll note that having such distro like Trisquel permits to have a more accurate vision of the situation of the free/libre software ecosystem and know which manufacturers and software are more or less evil.
