Introduction

This wiki page tracks support for various FSDG compliant distributions in various upstream projects.

Having support in these upstream projects can make it easier to try and/or install various FSDG compliant distributions for people that don't use one yet.

Though if FSDG compliant distributions use these programs, they might have to patches them if they are configured to use repositories that have nonfree software in them. See ExternalRepositories instead for tracking the status of external repositories in FSDG distributions and CrossDistroBootstrap for tracking how to bootstrap the installation of an FSDG compliant distribution from another FSDG compliant distribution.

Debootstrap Probably not Yes, In Parabola N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A Yes N/A Yes N/A Debootstrap can be used to manually install a distribution, but it's also used by tools like:
  • debuerotype for making reproducible docker images
  • mkosi for making various distribution images
Distro chooser No No No No No No No No No No No No No
  • I didn't find where the list of the distribution was in the source code so it might be complicated to add FSDG distros.
  • The FSDG distributions page in the Group:Hardware tracks the audience of FSDG distributions (for instance can it work for users who don't know the command line, for what usage?), but we probably don't have resource dedicated to people wanting to choose an FSDG compliant distribution.

Osinfo-db No No. Parabola patched gnome-boxes and virt-manager not to use that information. No No Yes Yes No Yes No Yes No Yes No osinfo-db is used in:
  • gnome-boxes for downloading and running distribution installers
  • virt-manager for configuring the virtual hardware to fit the distribution
Repology No No No No Yes No No Yes No Yes N/A Yes No
engine for SearXNG. No No No No No No No No No No No
UNetbootin No Unmaintained No No No No No No No No No No No I'm not sure if unetbootin is interesting as the distribution versions in the last release look really old. Though it still gets commits. It might also require some work to get an FSDG compliant build system for other OS (by fixing Guix or having an fsdg compliant msys2). Unetbootin has documentation for building custom versions so it might be easy to build FSDG compliant versions.
Ventoy Not sure: Ventoy uses a lot of source code from different projects, so it might need to be reviewed (For instance for inclusion in the free software directory). It might also depend on (old versions of) non-fsdg distributions for building things. Yes ? Yes Yes No Yes No Yes No Yes ? Ventoy probably supports most distributions already. It relies on a kernel module that is used by their bootscripts boot scripts to find the iso files needed to boot. These files are probably put in memory by the bootloader (they use a modified version of GRUB). So it works for most distributions with minimal work.
