I am very new to linux and all the open source stuff (my first post on lemmy actually) so I don't get how this stuff works but flathub is saying that floorp is proprietary. But after a quick google search it says that floorp is open source licensed under MPL 2.0

It’s extremely easy to have a fully featured desktop that is open source software only.

Open hardware is hard though.

Open hardware is not something sustainable. Hardware does not enjoy the benefit of open source software.

Open projects inside the 3D printing community might be possible but anything requires heavier R&D would not work.

Yeah, I don’t think that’s generally a problem. But modern firmware for some hardware is very complex and would be nice to be open.

Sadly not under the cold war we are having right now.
