I have been using GNU for so long now and what always annoyed me, was the fact that the last proprietary components of my OSs were always some kernel firmware blobs that are packaged with the official Linux kernel. Now I’d like to know if anyone has already tried the Linux-libre kernel on a modern system.

True, but most people don’t sandbox their games, and while a userspace binary can’t usually get root privileges, it doesn’t need it to exfiltrate their summer holiday pics or health bulletin.

A good first step to mitigate this is to use separate gaming and serious accounts.
