You can run a free OS pretty effortless, but when wanting 100% free software, you have to dig deeper and replace the proprietary BIOS firmware.
You must log in or register to comment.
The disks still have proprietary firmware, as do several other components though.
I bet that wireless mouse probably has some code in it.
If you’re using an active thunderbolt cable, you wire has proprietary code in it.
But it’s a closed device with the firmware not being for user to replace.
While BIOS can be updated without opening the computer. Or many WiFi cards require you to load a firmware on them upon boot.
So firmware in the disk is more of a right-to-repair problem rather than free/nonfree software
