    The distros being removed from this list mostly by requests from maintainers means it’s not actively monitored or researched at all. So by not verifying it you put yourself on a mercy of other people. It will fail, if not already.

    What are you talking about? It’s a list made by the Free Software Foundation. What was removed? If some information is incorrect, you should be able to prove it.

    That’s because you have to use consoles to even read them. They contain hardware DRM and are far from being ethical.

    I don’t know what hardware DRM means, but they use proprietary software, so you are right that they are unethical. I never said they were.

    Am I missing something or you’re thinking that starting with least offenders is a good idea?

    I don’t know what you mean.

      What was removed?

      Check the Historical section.

      I don’t know what hardware DRM means

      It means hardware modules like chips containing the code that you’ll have to do a lot of work to even dump, before trying to interpret and make use of it. Physical games also mostly use storage that degrades over time and I consider it another form of DRM.

      I don’t know what you mean.

      Why do you bash Valve but not any other company like Apple, Nvidia etc?
