Re: [gentoo-user] Opinions on DVR/PVR backend?

So you know the RPI is not open source as the RPI foundation doesn't 
provide firmware sources.
Proprietary firmware is required to boot and fully use the device as the 
RPI foundation only cares about open source when it is convenient to them.

I would consider purchasing another device, of which legitimately open 
source low power ARM devices are a dime a dozen (vs the high performance 
realm where POWER's TALOS 2 or rare developer boards are the only choice)
