Roughly what percentage of the software you use daily is free (as in freedom)/open-source?

I don't play games really often so they wouldn't count as daily use, so I guess what remains is the various firmwares on the devices (not operating systems, just firmwares), some services like DuckDuckGo, Slack, Mailbox.org, etc., and on the phone, I run LineageOS with microG but half of the phone apps are proprietary. So maybe 80%?

my pc pretty much just has steam, discord, and games as the only notable proprietary software. my phone has significantly more proprietary software, but i try to use free stuff whenever it's as good or better than the proprietary alternative

Maybe 50%? The stuff I use at work is proprietary but most of the software I use at home is open source

Idk what (as in freedom) means, but like 90% of mine are free or totally legal 👀 because I have to find the alt versions of normal sites because my school admins block everything on my pc (and my parents block everything on my phone, so lose-lose)

umm... depends
when i go to school, probably 20-40% (they force us to use iPads and Windows PCs, bleh)

at home, more like 70-80%, maybe even more
