From Wikipedia

Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre is a Linux distribution for the i686 and x86-64 architectures, including the GNU operating system components and the Linux-libre kernel instead of the generic Linux kernel. Free Software Foundation considers it a completely free operating system, true to its Free System Distribution Guidelines. Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre uses pacman as the package manager and some patchsets from the Debian development though stopping using patchsets from Debian beyond the version Debian 12. The project has been developing a fork of OpenBSD called HyperbolaBSD since 2019. They stated the goal of developing an independent, GPL-compatible operating system that excludes binary blobs, with the plan to eventually discontinue the Linux distribution, citing concerns with the Linux kernel regarding code security, support for digital rights management, and use of Rust.
