I'm curious as to whether it is realistically possible to actually stay pure GNU and still accomplish everything you need to do on a day to day basis. It's one thing to preach GNU, but it seems to me that completely avoiding non-free software is akin to practicing abstinence. Easier said than done. Drivers seem to be the biggest hurdle, since its necessary to avoid the non-free drivers commonly used in distros like Ubuntu and Debian.
I know gaming will necessarily be impacted, but what about multimedia capabilities? H.264 is not GNU therefore I would need to find an alternative.
I'm not likely to go pure GNU just like I'm not going to turn vegan, but I'm very interested if there are any people who actually walk the line and keep a straight face while admitting it.
