  14. <p>
  15. We are asked why we don't endorse most FSF-endorsed distributions,
  16. usually well-known within the FSF community.
  17. </p>
  18. <p>
  19. To learn more about the GNU+Linux systems that we do endorse,
  20. check out our list of
  21. <a href="../distros/">free GNU+Linux distributions</a>. The <em>only</em>
  22. FSF-endorsed distribution that we endorse there is <em>Parabola</em>.

  29. <h2>Blag</h2>
  30. <p>
  31. It's a dead project.

  33. <h2>Dynebolic</h2>
  34. <p>
  35. It's a dead project.

  37. <h2>gNewSense</h2>
  38. <p>
  39. It's a dead project.
  40. </p>
  41. <h2>GuixSD</h2>
  42. <p>
  43. It's the GNU project's official distribution.
  44. <a href="../../gnu/">Libreboot is opposed to the GNU project</a>.
  45. It's actively developed, but it's not yet ready for use by
  46. most end users.
  47. </p>
  48. <h2>Musix</h2>
  49. <p>
  50. It's a dead project.
  51. </p>
  52. <h2>Trisquel</h2>
  53. <p>
  54. The lead developer (Ruben Rodriguez) of Trisquel is one of the accused FSF employees
  55. in their <a href="../../gnu/">recent discriminatory firing of
  56. a trans person from the FSF</a>, and Trisquel is one of the most
  57. aggressively promoted distributions on the part of the Free Software
  58. Foundation. We are opposed to the FSF, and Trisquel endorses them,
  59. so endorsing Trisquel means endorsing the FSF.
  60. </p>
  61. <p>
  62. The lead developer (Ruben Rodriguez) also works full-time as an FSF
  63. sysadmin, and seems to barely have time to develop Trisquel these days.
  64. As a result, with a lack of leadership (and Ruben presumably still
  65. <em>holding on</em>), the project has stalled and will probably end
  66. up becoming a dead distro. <em>Critical security updates are currently
  67. delayed compared to Ubuntu, their upstream!</em>
  68. </p>
  69. <p>
  70. Several people within the Trisquel project have even left the
  71. project as a result of this. For instance, this post on the Trisquel
  72. forums clearly shows such discontent:
  73. <a href="https://trisquel.info/en/forum/im-leaving-trisquel">https://trisquel.info/en/forum/im-leaving-trisquel</a>
  74. </p>
  75. <p>
  76. We advise all users of Trisquel, whether they use libreboot or not,
  77. to switch to the most similar free distribution, Debian, which is
  78. listed on our <a href="../distros/">official list of GNU+Linux
  79. distributions recommendations</a>.
