Well, that’s why it’s for the purists lol. Depending on the hardware you have/need it really is a pain. I use Guix but i still need the kernel from the nonguix channel. Nonguix does allow you to pick and choose firmware blobs, but on all my machines at the very least i need the amdgpu firmware. Wifi and bluetooth is something you could work around if you really wanted, but getting rid of the gpu firmware requires me to get a different laptop entirely, or in the case of my desktop get a different gpu, but i don’t want to make that compromise cause finding a gpu that doesn’t require that probably cuts into my gaming performance big time.

firmwares Just ‘firmware’, still. It never gets an S.

With AI they might pull it off using clean room reverse engineered Rust written slopfirmwares 😁
