I used Linux Libre kernel for a bit - honestly surprised at how well most things still worked? The biggest downside seems to be Wi-Fi drivers - except for that one Atheros card, none of the modern Wi-Fi cards will work without Linux firmware blobs
100% Freedom for Their PCs? LOL This is a joke
- It's possible with an old enough CPU and a libre BIOS.
  That doesn't mean I'd do it but it's possible.
  
  Still not 100% not to mention how many security patches you would have to give up for such
- Same could've once been said about a free OS like Linux. Now it is absolutely possible, with the downsides shrinking bit by bit.
  The goal of 100% free is one I support. And these people are working to make it possible.
