   They'd better add back console scrollback and IPX.

     @nugger Sorry to break it to you, but Linux is not even completely source-available, which makes it proprietary software.

     @nugger It's about 60% proprietary and 40% possibly free when you factor in all the derivative works in "linux-firmware" (not one firmware file, all software).
     
     Of course, there is the GNU version, which is fully free; https://www.fsfla.org/ikiwiki/selibre/linux-libre/

     @Groomschild Of course proprietary software wants to run with other proprietary software.
     
     The proprietary software cannot dare to even think about running on GNU mind you.
