As per FSF only these linux distributions are 100% free:

Dragora
Dyne
Guix
Hyperbola
Parabola
PureOS
Trisquel
Ututo
libreCMC
ProteanOS

Do you agree or not?

I see a lot of people that want to switch from windows to a linux distro or a open os. But from what i see they tend to migrate to another black boxed/closed os.

What is a trully free os that doesnt included any closed code/binary blobs/closed drivers etc.

Just 100% free open code, no traps.

What are the options and what should one go with if they want fully free os that rejects any closed code?

Whether or not I agree has nothing to do with whether or not I would want to use a distro that had no proprietary software in it. That honestly sounds fucking horrible, especially for a gamer. Those distros aren’t much good for anything except office work and basic browsing of most websites.
