You can run a free OS pretty effortless, but when wanting 100% free software, you have to dig deeper and replace the proprietary BIOS firmware.

    But it’s a closed device with the firmware not being for user to replace.

    While BIOS can be updated without opening the computer. Or many WiFi cards require you to load a firmware on them upon boot.

    So firmware in the disk is more of a right-to-repair problem rather than free/nonfree software
