…wait, you’re saying that you’ve never heard of Venenux, The distro so notable that it doesn’t even have a wiki page? I gave Venenux and Trisquel serious consideration when I chose what distro I’d use, but my decision was that neither of them was obscure enough.

If you want a good laugh, check out the “popularity” column on This Page.

gNewSense: “Dormant”

Lol.

Ubuntu offers the option to install only free packages, which means it also offers the option to install nonfree packages too.

You get the impression someone just finished their Principles of Logic 101 and now know how to derive the second part from the first. Well done, guys!

Additionally, it tells you how well 100% free distributions are going when you look at the list; it includes popular distros like “Dragora”, “Trisquel”, and the venerable “Venenux”! (cough) The only one on that list I’ve ever heard of is gNewSense, and that’s only because the FSF push (and support) it.

I swear, nearly every entry bar gNewSense on that list has changed since I last looked at it, which gives you an idea of how long-lived “100% free” distro projects are.
