Read the GNU definition of it:

The first part of it correctly explains that the only non-FOSS parts are firmware. The rest of it is unfortunately bullshit, because it claims that because GrapheneOS includes an optional method for installing Google services it's not degoogled. This makes absolutely no sense, by default there are no Google apps/services at all present on GrapheneOS and it never connects to Google servers. But yes, except for some required firmware GrapheneOS is fully FOSS.

That's why I love projectors, they almost never have "smart" features built in. A Raspberry Pi can serve as a great HTPC running FOSS software like Kodi, connecting to a local, self-hosted Jellyfin server full of pirated content.

Misinformation is the stuff you spread in c/privacy about GrapheneOS and Android in general

It's not on F-Droid, they have their custom F-Droid repository but that doesn't really mean anything. Anyone can put any app in a custom F-Droid repo, it doesn't have any meaning in regard to FOSS licensing or user freedom.

It's paid and partly proprietary though. Not an issue for me, but might be an issue for some other people.

I like TrueNAS Scale. If you don't mind paying for a server OS and parts of it being proprietary, check out Unraid.

Debian if you are new to Linux servers and self-hosting. Alpine if you get more advanced and just want something very light-weight and minimal.

Great, finally some Sodium batteries that are not made in China.

Good for Brazilians I guess

And deal with all the bloatware, all the proprietary nonsense that sends your data to Google who then sell it to like a million other companies and give it to the government whenever they ask for it

A while back AMD did say they were looking to open up a lot of the boot stack but I haven’t heard anything sense.

I think that was mostly for server CPUs/chipsets
