> It solves bug #1

It doesn't do so anymore than ubuntu already does.

It does so more directly by being a PC without Microsoft Windows pre-installed or proprietary BIOS.

Almost always, a majority of PCs for sale have Microsoft Windows pre-installed. In the rare cases that they come with a GNU/Linux operating system or no operating system at all, the drivers and BIOS may be proprietary.

Ubuntu helped enable Purism to exist and they are great for that too.

    Ah, so it does so by redefining the inconvenient bits completely out of bug #1.

    • I don't understand what you're saying and to be honest I don't care. All I wanted to say is that people should support Purism because they value FOSS principles. Sorry if I was too obtuse.
