Try a proper CD. Perhaps try having Super GRUB2 disk on it (I'm not sure it boots to the USB drive, though). A more surefire option is The Plop boot manager (burned to a CD). It's not free though since it can't be used commercially. But I know it works.

I'm not especially religious, but my point was exactly that, the false gods will be phased out over time, not incorporated. There is no reason someone could not create a program that handles flash securely for example. From the looks of it, unfortunately, that's doesn't seem to be happening

Agreed. It's exactly like how anyone can install nonfree software in Trisquel, but it doesn't assist you in doing it. Besides, allowing the loading of blobs can make it possible to install a free replacement if one has come out but Linux-libre hasn't deblobbed the driver. (Of course, this
