A fork of Arch which removes access to proprietary drivers, firmware and other binaries. Comes with de-blobbed kernel which prevents the loading of proprietary firmware, so is not compatible with all hardware configurations.

Pros
Cons
Con Not compatible with AUR
Unlike other Arch-based distros, this free distro doesn't support AUR.
Con Incompetent developers
They only care about removing non-free software, rather than making a properly working OS.
Con Small repositories
Since Parabola is a completely free distro, there is no non-free software available and the community repositories are small compared to the AUR.
Con Won't work out-of-the-box on the most PC's
Almost all PCs need non-free drivers but Parabola has none to offer.
Con Very few packages
Since this is completely "free", you won't find many packages available, so there isn't a lot you can do with Parabola.
