Operating systems
We have a separate list for each operating system because some free replacements don't run on all the operating system. After you replace the nonfree apps, how about replacing the nonfree system with a free GNU/Linux distribution next? For your freedom's sake.
Free operating systems
- GNU/Linux
- Replicant — for mobile devices
- Replicant-expanded — Replicant page with new experimental design.
Non-FSDG compliant distributions
Distros that don't follow the free system distribution guidelines (FSDG).
