I was referring to your first paragraph which along with other things lists Android.

(I’ll assume we agree on this one)

(This is also partly a response to the last part). You do get harmed if you don’t use proprietary software simply due to the status quo. For example, many ignorant software use Discord or GitHub, both proprietary software, as their sole means of support. If you don’t use them, you can’t fix many problems. If you don’t have that firmware blob, your computer simply can’t run Linux. That is the forced place of proprietary, which makes some concessions necessary. Linux also isn’t “flawed” simply because they include these.

Sure if you mean idealistic to the greedy. That wasn’t very clear, hence my misunderstanding.

Yes, which is why many are still forced to use proprietary software in their careers. Despite their best efforts the GNU project still hasn’t been able to cover every job needed, though they have succeeded with the parts they’ve already finished.

What I’m saying is “you got propaganda” is not the argument. Falsify the propaganda, not the propagandees.

I have no idea why you think I attributed GNU to Linux. I’m just saying that Linux is currently far more practical than the FSF’s excessive purity (which Linux can also achieve).
