freedom includes the ability to, at your option, give up parts of your freedom
The argument is that it shouldn't. Exaggeration, but you are, for example, not allowed to give up your human rights IRL, even if you consent to it now. Consider how you're not allowed to incorporate GPL software within proprietary software or vice-versa. (Unless you jump through hoops to define it as aggregation not composition or as system libs or whatever nonsense.)

I personally believe that the -libre distros just aren't meant for the average user. They're meant for people who want to be sure that they will always be running free software and have accepted all the problems associated with it. For people that are aware of the freedom issues but still for whatever reason need or want to run proprietary software, Gentoo's approach is probably the best. Most other distros just give you a yes/no switch on adding a non-free repo (if even that) and that's pretty shit.

    >I personally believe that the -libre distros just aren't meant for the average user.
    The free distributions of the GNU operating system are intended for everyone, as everyone deserves freedom. However, it is true that the average computer user does not value freedom.

    >They're meant for people who want to be sure that they will always be running free software and have accepted all the problems associated with it.
    Please list the problems associated with using a free distribution of the GNU operating system.

    >Gentoo's approach is probably the best.
    "Gentoo's approach" would undoubtedly be the best overall if its developers valued freedom.

    >Most other distros just give you a yes/no switch on adding a non-free repo (if even that) and that's pretty shit.
    Unfortunately, most other distributions include a proprietary version of Linux and do not even have a policy against proprietary software.

      Why'd I bother, none of them apply to you as you've accepted them as non-problems in your dogma.

        I asked for a list of problems because I want to examine them. If you know problems associated with using a free distribution of the GNU operating system, I’d genuinely like to read them.

        I don't have a dogma — I love freedom.

          It's the usual problems such as hardware support or employer/educator required shitware (or the less important "I want to consume proprietary slop"). These usually are treated as non-problems by GNU extremists -- "get better hardware", "get a better job/convince your employer to switch".

          There's also the classic issue of the "non-commercial" licenses or the newer breed of "no corporations allowed" licenses, while these are obviously non-free in the general sense, I can see why people might choose to treat them as effectively free software if the hardware they're used on is always gonna be employed for personal use.
