Description:

With Parabola: The compatibility with free software is E, as Parabola cannot boot on the device that easily: The nonfree bootloader is incompatible with upstream Linux, which makes parabola impossible to boot unless you compile your own kernel or install another nonfree bootloader.

With Replicant 6.0: The compatibility with free software is "Class D (Bronze)" as "More than one device is not supported": The GPS doesn't work, nor the internal WiFi, nor Bluetooth, plus there is no 3D acceleration, but most applications work without it.

With Replicant 11: 3D acceleration works but the modem and many other things aren't supported yet.
