parrotsec.org what is not free software
about it?
Thank you.
I am a translator!
From reading the documentation:
- It is based on Debian stable
- https://parrotsec.org/docs/introduction/what-is-parrot/ says that it supports snaps, providing reference to a site with Skype on the first page
- https://parrotsec.org/docs/mirrors/mirrors-list shows a source.list file with "contrib", "non-free" and "non-free-firmware" repositories.
- https://parrotsec.org/docs/configuration/nvidia-drivers explains how to install non-free nvidia software
I don't know whether it is feasible to install it and use it without non-free software.
In general, I am not sure what is the benefit of this distro compared with Debian.

Which is the main matter. I only take interest in if parrot
can get installed and run with free software.

I want to get all data transfers over the onion router. My
understanding is that parrot integrates tor. And
makes use of sandboxes.

There is a risk that you will get no help for that because people running parrot think using non-free software is fine.

One option could be to install tor on a router running libreCMC and configure the router using instructions at https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/services/tor/client. Another option with more work could be to use parabola and follow the wiki advice on tor usage. In general, parabola is more work but there is good documentation (including arch documentation).
Debian also has those same repos as well.
Devuan as well.
I recommend anyone who uses a non-free distro to disable the non-free repos if you can and if you can't, avoid non-free as much as possible.
Its usually not so hard to figure it out.
This does beg the question, I wonder if anyone is working to reverse engineer any newer wifi cards from intel, etc...
I don't think its impossible, but it probably is a massive pain too.
ParrotOS distribute, and recommend nonfree software, that's the reason is not a free distribution of the GNU operating system: https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html
Sounds about right otherwise it would most likely be listed as a free distro.
