IMO there's no true FOSS software out there, why ?
because FOSS software still use some proprietary library or make some part in their code proprietary (good reason for this because you don't wanna some dude steal your code & claims it)
It’s extremely easy to have a fully featured desktop that is open source software only.
Open hardware is hard though.
Open hardware is not something sustainable. Hardware does not enjoy the benefit of open source software.
Open projects inside the 3D printing community might be possible but anything requires heavier R&D would not work.
Yeah, I don’t think that’s generally a problem. But modern firmware for some hardware is very complex and would be nice to be open.
Sadly not under the cold war we are having right now.
