Nowhere is this more true than Trisquel, the freedom (as in speechdom) -loving, Ubuntu-based distro endorsed by the Free Software Foundation. Trisquel replaces Ubuntu's kernel with Linux-libre, which has had all the proprietary firmware blobs (and any drivers that reference them) removed. Don't get too comfortable, though: when Trisquel 10 (which will be based on Ubuntu 20.10) is released, there'll be no upgrade path for 32-bit users. [Extracted from the article]

Software LINUX, www.antixlinux.com The antiX project has been around since 2007. However, most of the time Debian docs will be sufficient, and the tools unique to antiX are described on its website. Once you're all installed you may wish to install a PAE kernel (if you're on 32-bit hardware) or perhaps use the antiX's bespoke tool to install a customised one from Liquorix or Siduction, or you can use a stock Debian effort.
