This README.md is temporary, once the relevant changes have been made to the description belonging to the handbook, it may be added to the README.md in the repository.

"Dragora GNU/Linux" is the formal form, in the actual description of the handbook it is implied that it includes entirely free software. It may not be a good idea here to use "Dragora GNU/Linux-Libre" to try not to confuse, I guess.

Note that linux-libre is part of GNU. So "GNU/Linux" can be a bit tricky. :-)

As I know, de-blobbed kernel is also entirely free software. I heard that Linux-libre is de-blobbed kernel that also don't permit installation of proprietary blobs (Maybe I am wrong). I thought that it will be better...

Yes, but for a first introduction maybe not, a short description will be placed in the handbook about what is "GNU", "Linux and Linux-libre".
