        Router yes, actually router is running coreboot and tiano core with OpenWRT. Does still have proprietary microcode though, and WiFi firmware. All my WAPs also run OpenWRT. I don’t have a modem, I have fiber. The ONT is probably running something proprietary but as far as I’m concerned that’s ISP equipment, not mine. Phone…not quite. I tried…it is running an AOSP rom…but going to a full Linux phone never quite worked out. That being said I was originally referring to my laptop and desktop which make use of no proprietary software or drivers. I do go FOSS to the extreme as much as possible. I just haven’t figured out the phone. I did try going f-droid only for a while but it made basic tasks on my phone substantially more difficult.

          The article wasn’t about just running Linux: it was about trying to maximize use of OSS software in their personal compute. They write about using an OSS BIOS, OSS phone - everything that can conceivably and possibly be done.

          I don’t recall if they talk about their modem, or switches; I think it’s just their personal computing devices. Still, it’s an interesting journey. I’m really nervous about replacing the BIOS; LibreBoot and CoreBoot look interesting, but I’m not in a place where I can afford to brick my computer.

    You’re not really living with as much free software as possible until you’ve installed all of the 103818 packages in debian.
