The distros being removed from this list mostly by requests from maintainers means it’s not actively monitored or researched at all. So by not verifying it you put yourself on a mercy of other people. It will fail, if not already.
What are you talking about? It’s a list made by the Free Software Foundation. What was removed? If some information is incorrect, you should be able to prove it.
That’s because you have to use consoles to even read them. They contain hardware DRM and are far from being ethical.
I don’t know what hardware DRM means, but they use proprietary software, so you are right that they are unethical. I never said they were.
Am I missing something or you’re thinking that starting with least offenders is a good idea?
I don’t know what you mean.
Those distros are just not being developed anymore, so they are no longer recommended.
I do. I will never buy anything from those companies.
