Stallman's endgoal (satire, I'm not trying to imply that Stallman actually wants to achieve this)

Imagine this comic ( https://rl.bloat.cat/img/dqdbr3bl60ge1.jpeg ), but with the following context:

Stallman in room full of proprietary garbage operating systems such as Losedows ("Windows"), g00gle's distribution of Android (g00gle AndRot), MacOSleazy ("MacOS"), ChorumeOS ("ChromeOS"), ScreamOS GNU/Linux ("SteamOS"): "Operating systems should be freer!"

The same room but now with the present operating systems being slightly "tamer" but with a fraud "free software" policy only pretending to guarantee freedom, Debianut ("Debian") GNU/Linux ("Social" Contract, https://jxself.org/debian-doubletalk.shtml) and unFreedora ("Fedora") GNU/Linux (according to https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html and https://www.gnu.org/distros/common-distros.html#Fedora the software-freedom-oriented parts of unFreedora policy inspired GNU FSDG but unFreedora policy as a unit is non-free), Stallman commands: "Freer!"

The same room but now with only the free (as in FSDG-compliant) GNU/Linux distros and FSDG-compliant Android distribution Replicant, and also FSDG-compliant HyperbolaBSD because at this point in time where Stallman has such power HyperbolaBSD would have already have released; Stallman commands: "Freer!"

Stallman, now dictator Saint IGNUcius ( https://stallman.org/saint.html ) with Emacs being the only FSDG-compliant operating system in existence and with all resistance abolished and with everyone being coerced into science by being forced to learn Emacs Lisp and forced to become a hacker: "Perfect."

Windows, GoogleOS (chromeos or android) and appleos (ios or mac osx) all are the worst. Although Redhat is competing in multiple ways to be worse. For example they tried resisting giving out source code. utterly insane for them to do such cheek. I don't think they can get away with that reasonably.

I know this was satire and this is somewhat off topic, but I guess my point was, the other OSes listed are miles better than the ones I listed.

why we don't endorse common distros list has better ones than the above. But yes, that shouldn't be where we stop at.

Go for the freest possible indeed.
