# Free Operating Systems: Plenty of Choices Here, People

Apparently, there is some [disagreement][1] about whether or not
[Gobuntu][2] is a 'free enough' operating system. I often wonder
about these disputes, there are plenty of truly free operating
systems for the taking.

[Debian][3] without the non-free or contrib repositories would be
quite [free enough][4] for even the most ardent Free Software
advocate. Same with [Fedora][5], which has steadfastly [refused to
ship with support for proprietary audio or video formats][6], for
example. Likewise for [OpenBSD][7], with it's [principled stance on
binary firmware and free software in general][8].

If you're that [angry about it][9], why not devote your time and
energy to operating systems that already fit the bill?
