I would love to gain the idea that’s possible what are the downsides and upsides. Based on that philosophy Nvidia is impossible right now.

    You will have issues with most peripheals as they often require some form of firmware blob. Wifi, Bluetooth and lots of USB devices needs them.

      All of them are like that? I mean isn’t there any alternative to proprietary firmware blobs that is well not proprietary and blobed? For example for WiFi or just USB.

        It really depends on the hardware. Some might have, most don’t.

        Any “modern” wifi will require a firmware blob. But if you are ok with older wifi chips like ath9k, then you can avoid the blob.
