FYI, http://gnuinos.org is actively developed and aims to be a 100%
libre distro based on Devuan, which is Debian just without systemd.

the lead developer is Aitor and he has recently updated it to use the
linux-libre series version 4. Gnuinos is still alpha stage, I guess
he'll apply for review here once ready sometime soon in the future.

I really appreciate his efforts and we'll likely run a Devuan-libre
repository (using our package repository daemon amprolla) to block all
non-free packages in the future.

ciao
